Holiday in Tulum

About Tulum

Tulum on the Caribbean coast of Mexico's Riviera Maya is the place where ancient Maya history and bohemian chic magically combine. The archaeological site of Tulum sits atop a 12-meter-high cliff directly above the turquoise Caribbean Sea — the only Maya ruin city with an ocean view and one of the most photographed sights in all of Mexico. El Castillo and the Temple of the Descending God testify to its former significance as a trading port. The cenotes around Tulum are among the most spectacular on the entire Yucatan Peninsula. Gran Cenote impresses with crystal-clear water, stalactites, and turtles. Cenote Dos Ojos (Two Eyes) offers underground cave diving through one of the longest underwater cave systems in the world. Casa Cenote connects freshwater cenotes with mangrove channels to the open sea. The Sian Ka'an Biosphere, a UNESCO World Heritage site south of Tulum, protects 5,280 square kilometers of untouched nature: mangrove lagoons, coral reefs, and tropical forests where jaguars, crocodiles, and manatees live. Boat tours through the channels of the ancient Maya trade system are an unforgettable experience. The ruins of Coba, 40 minutes inland, offer a panoramic view of the endless jungle with the climbable Nohoch-Mul Pyramid (42 meters). Tulum's beach road is lined with design hotels, yoga retreats, and farm-to-table restaurants — a hotspot for digital nomads and conscious travel.
