Tulum, beach paradise
This destination in the Mexican Caribbean is considered a Caribbean beach paradise. With fine, soft white sand, it revolves around ecotourism to respect the flora and fauna that surround it.
Tulum has a different type of charm with a boho-hippie style that attracts mainly young people. This destination is also magical because it is a historical and archaeological site with amazing Mayan ruins near the beach and other points of interest nearby.
To take advantage of the main attractions in the area, we recommend staying in Tulum for six or seven days so you can visit Sian Ka’an and Akumal, visit the main Mayan ruins and the cenotes, try delicious restaurants, go shopping and biking, and do many more activities.
