Exploring the Magic of Tulum and the Riviera Maya

Exploring the Magic of Tulum and the Riviera Maya

Tulum is a unique and authentic destination that attracts tourists from all over the world. Its ruins located by the Caribbean Sea with its spectacular turquoise waters are a major drawcard. Tulum is the only archaeological site situated on the edge of a cliff overlooking the sea.

Named a magical town, Tulum has plenty of enchanting spots to explore. Here are some of the magical places you should visit during your stay:

Archaeological Zones in Tulum

The Tulum archaeological zone is a must-visit site. The ancient Mayans chose to settle in this area of Quintana Roo for good reason. The stunning view of the sea makes it one of the most interesting magical places in Tulum. These ruins are the birthplace of everything we know today as Tulum.

The Mayan ruins are believed to be full of positive energy. Many visitors wear white clothing to be ready to receive this positive energy during their visit.

Cenotes in the Riviera Maya

Have you heard of cenotes? These natural swimming holes were sacred places for the ancient Mayans and were considered a gateway to the underworld. Most of the underground rivers and caves in the Riviera Maya and Yucatan are connected, creating a valuable treasure for the planet.

You can't leave Tulum without visiting a cenote. They come in different shapes and sizes, some are open, others are semi-open, ancient, or in caves. Their unique beauty is a gift from nature that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. There are many cenotes in Tulum and the surrounding areas. Choose the one closest to you and have a unique experience.

Sian Ka'an Reserve

If you love nature, we recommend taking a tour of the Sian Ka'an Reserve. It is the largest protected natural area in the Mexican Caribbean and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You can book a tour in advance or directly at one of the entrances to Muyil. There are options to pay per person or share a boat with several people if you prefer.

We recommend using eco-friendly sunscreen to protect the environment, especially in the cenotes, as everything is connected to the underground rivers.

When visiting Tulum, remember to be conscious of the gift that nature offers, take care of it, and respect it so that it can last for many years to come. Discover the magic of Tulum and the Riviera Maya and create unforgettable memories.
