 Curled
up between the white sand that draws the crystalline
beaches of the Caribbean Sea and the exhuberant tropical
forest lie the enigmatic one you take care of Mayan
of Tulum, the only one constructed next to the sea.
It is located in the Yucatan Peninsula in the State
of Quintana Roo, to the Southeastern of Mexico, in the
North border of the reserve of the Biosphere of Sian
káan. 145 km are located to the south of the cosmopolitan
city of Cancún.
Tulum is divided in three different areas, the Hotel
Zone, the Town and the Archaeological Zone.
In first are some of most spectacular beaches of the
Caribbean coast; many even consider Virgins and it is
distinguished by his simple architecture that demonstrates
a deep respect by the medio.ambiente; their rustic cabins
and small hotels were altogether constructed harmonies
with the natural beauty of the environs.
 The
town of Tulum consists of a main avenue on which all
the commercial activity of the same one is developed.
It offers stores of crafts and supermarket, small restaurants,
basic services like the bus-station, bank and office
vestibule.
In the well-known area like the Mayan Zone, and in the
small neighboring towns, the natives maintain their
language and traditions alive; the majority lives in
typical palapas with marijuana ceilings. The main economic
activities of this group are fishes them, construction
of palapas, rustic manufacture of crafts and furniture,
among other activities.
 The
old walled large city, erected in the top of a cliff
of 12 meters with Vista to the Caribbean Sea, includes
the vestiges of one of the most exquisite cities of
the old Mayan world. Other important archaeological
sites are close: Cobá, located to 42Km. to the northwest
of Tulum and Chichen Itzá, that is to 159Km in the same
direction. Equipped with incomparable natural beauty,
the region has a prodigious tropical forest that lodges
a series of natural wells that old the Mayans called
"Natural wells;" in addition, their interminable and
calm Caribbean coasts receive every year to thousands
of marine turtles that choose this paradise to lay eggs.
By many years, Tulum has been Mecca of travellers in
search of physical and spiritual relaxation; the possibility
of practicing meditation and yoga, or of enjoying a
Temazcal - old Mayan steam bath - comprises of the numerous
attractions that offers to the visitor. By this, Tulum
is, without a doubt, the ideal echo-archaeological destiny
for the lovers of the nature, the sun, and history.
