Tulum
Tulum,
sometimes Tulum Pueblo, is located near the site of the
archaeological ruins of Tulum. Several years ago, Tulum Pueblo was a
quiet village 2 km (1.5 mi) from the archaeological site, and tourism
outside of the ruins was limited to a few small shops and simple
cabanas on the beach.
Today the population of Tulum Pueblo has grown to over to well over
10,000 permanent inhabitants. Tulum Pueblo remains mostly a Mexican
town, with some tourists eating in the restaurants and bars at night
The tourist destination is now divided into three main areas: the
archaeological site, the pueblo (or town), and the zona hotelera (or
hotel zone).

The
"hotel zone" is unique for its outstanding boutique hotels on the Tulum
beach that most of them have
grown from cabañas built in the traditional Maya style with thatched palm roofs. The bech area in tulum have
to offer several restaurants and beach clubs. Most accommodations remain rustic as electricity in the "hotel
zone" is either non-existent or is generated on site in the trendy eco-hotels.
Tulum archaeological is the site of a Pre-Columbian Maya walled city serving as a major port for Cobá. The
ruins are located on 12-meter (39 ft) cliffs, along the east coast of the Yucatán Peninsula on the Caribbean
Sea in the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico. One of the best-preserved coastal Maya sites, Tulum is today a
popular site for tourists.
The archaeological site is relatively compact, compared with many other Maya sites in the vicinity. Its
proximity to the modern tourism developments along the Mexican Caribbean coastline or the Riviera Maya
has made it a popular destination for tourists. Daily tour buses bring a constant stream of visitors to the site.
The Tulum ruins are the third most-visited archaeological site in Mexico, after Teotihuacan and Chichen Itza.
It is popular for the picturesque view of the Caribbean and a location just 128 km (80 miles) south of the
popular beach resort city of Cancún.
A large number of cenotes are located in the Tulum area such as Maya Blue, Naharon, Temple of Doom,
Tortuga, Vacaha, Gand Cenote, Abejas, Nohoch Kiin and Carwash cenotes and cave systems. Some are
popular for diving, some for snorkeling and some for both.
