The Mayan Ruins

The Mayan civilization is known for its highly developed technology. This includes advanced architecture, an elaborate calendar, mathematical advancements, and an astronomical system. No visit to Tulum would be complete without a visit to the archaeological ruins.

Tulum’s remains are the most recent Maya ruins in all of Mexico, so you can get a sense of what the empire was like just before it fell apart. Tulum served as a harbor for the Maya empire, and its walls may still be seen today. Because there is a barrier reef nearby, the beach is ideal for swimming because the seas are calmer, and there is plenty of fish to see.

A Unique Culture

Tulum has an intriguing cultural mix, with traditional Mayan families coexisting with several newcomers from Europe (particularly Italy), and North America. As a result, there are many Italian restaurants and establishments in the town.

In the Cancha Maya, one of Tulum’s principal plazas, you can find a typical Mayan chapel. Many local spas provide Mayan herbal therapies, as well as treatments conducted by local Mayan shamen, and healers.

Food is a great way to learn about a culture. Everything is fresh, local, and grilled or baked to perfection in Tulum. Of course, genuine Yucatan cuisine is available, including classic fish dishes, traditional tacos, and so much more.

An Interesting Night Life

Tulum’s nightlife scene has numerous options for amazing drinks, music, and entertainment, and is more relaxed and laid-back than surrounding areas. The town is well-lit at night, and it is safe to walk around. It is not uncommon to find people strolling about the streets in the early hours of the morning.

Thanks to the cultural mix in the town, one of the most unique nightlife attractions are flamenco dancing. This dance form makes up a large part of the nightlife entertainment in Tulum and is an expressive art form based on the musical traditions of southern Spain.
