Are you annoyed by the new buildings and bustle of large resorts, but you don’t want to part with comfort? Then Tulum is for you.
This coastal town, founded by the Mayans, has been gaining momentum in the tourism industry for the last ten years, and for good reason. All the benefits of civilization in close proximity to ancient ruins and coconut palms framing some of the best Mexican beaches – sounds tempting, right?
Tulum is a popular ecotourism destination: you will find restaurants that offer dishes made from locally grown products, and entire eco-resorts. A few minutes’ drive from Tulum, another treasure of this region is hidden – underground lakes, or cenotes. These wells, which were formed due to the collapse of cave vaults, were used by the Mayans for sacrifices.
