Tulum......Where Love meets Nature.

Tulum is one of the most Magic places in the Riviera Maya. A marvelous mixture of timeless archaeological sites and wild nature combined with live Mayan culture at it's best framed by our powdered white sandy beaches.
It is located 79 miles south of Cancun, 38 miles south of Playa del Carmen and 14 miles south of Akumal.
 
Tulum is comprised by three different and separated sites:

  • The archeological site is one of the most visited in Mexico, the only site located facing the Caribbean ocean. You can only imagine the eyes of the Spanish conquerors as they arrived in their ships while seeing this Majestic site. You can take a tour or go on your own.
  • Tulum pueblo has all the basic facilities you need: a supermarket, two banks, several ATM's, money exchange offices,  two gas stations, restaurants, drug stores, gift shops, boutiques, hand crafts and much more. It is a town with no luxuries where you will feel  Mexico immerse in the Mayan culture mixed with the European flavor that foreigners that have come to stay, have managed to merge in  a unique way.
  • The hotel zone is located in front of the ocean, with one of the most beautiful beaches in all the Riviera Maya. 
    Tulum is magical, the full moon nights are spectacular and you won't even need a flash light to walk at night. The sky at night is crowded with thousands of sparkling stars and constellations, a view you can hardly see anywhere else.
    Why choose Tulum for your wedding? Because it is private, secluded, beautiful, and Magical.

ACTIVITIES
Tulum Archaeological Site
The only Mayan Archaeological site built by the sea. This is one of the most amazing Archaeological sites in the peninsula. A must!

Coba Archaeological Site: The Mayan name is “Nohoch Muul” it means “the tallest mountain” This Archaeoliogical site is located about 45 minutes from Tulum near the pueblo of Coba, which has developed around a beautiful quiet lagoon. The ruins are amazing, hidden deep in the jungle. Be sure to bring sunscreen, repellent, and good walking shoes. There is a lot of walking at this site, compared to Tulum. A good option is to rent a bike.

Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve: Sian Ka’an in Mayan means “the place where the sky is born” The Biosphere is located just south of Tulum, along the coastal highway with more than 1,000,000 hectares of protected territory. It’s a UNESCO world heritage site. It is recommended to sign up with a tour so you can see the best of the biosphere, amazing jungle, unique wild life and white sand beaches! Fly fishing and bird watching are popular in this area.

Sea turtle nesting: From May to August it is turtle season in Tulum, and every night (sometimes late at night!) the sea turtles come to the beaches of Tulum to lay their eggs. This amazing experience can be witnessed after sunset and all through the night as the turtles climb up the beach and dig the holes for their nests. It is very important that flashlights or cameras with flash not be used, as the light scares the turtles in returning to the sea and the eggs are scattered on the beach and die. Please help us to preserve the environment and the life of thousands of sea turtles.

The great Coral Reef Barrier: The longest coral Reef Barrier in the World, you can snorkel on your own (just swim straight out from the beach) or take a snorkel tour or diving tour. Most tours visit three areas on the coral reef with about 50 minutes at each site, where you can see at least 30 different species of coral and numerous colorful tropical fish. The first site that is usually visited has a depth of four meters and is called Puntas del Quebrado, or break-point, where the water is deeper than at other points along the reef and you have a chance to see some larger fish. The second site is called the Piscina, or swimming pool, and is a point where the seawater blends with fresh water flowing in from underground rivers. The final site is located on the coral reef with a depth of only two meters and a spectacular visibility. Snorkeling and diving at the reef should not be missed! Most hotels, diving shops or tours will provide their own snorkeling gear and diving equipment.

Gran Cenote: Spectacular for snorkeling or diving. Lots of stalactites and cavern formations that you can see with a snorkel. This is actually a collection of several cenotes linked together. Magical!
The Cenotes charge different entrance fees, they are a great location for a “rehearsal brunch” or family and friends gathering before or after the Wedding day. You may bring your box lunch, most cenotes don’t allow alcoholic beverages in their property.

Cenote Calavera: This cenote is hidden in the jungle off the highway to Coba. Its three holes give it a skull-like image, hence its name Calavera. Great for jumping into from above! There is a ten foot drop from the cenote rim to the water, with a metal ladder for easy exit.

Cenotes Cristal and Escondido: Can you tell I like cenotes? I have included several, because they are each unique. No two cenotes are the same. These two are both popular cenotes for swimming and snorkeling, making them an excellent option for non-divers. They are both pond-type cenotes (with clear water), surrounded by jungle.The above link is for Cenote Cristal, for Cenote Escondido see the same website.

Dos Ojos: Located about 25 minutes north of Tulum on highway 307 , Spectacular caverns that are part of an extensive underground system of cenotes. Guided snorkeling tours, or cavern diving for professionals. (A 20-minute drive north of ZAMAS) www.hiddenworlds.com.mx

Jungle tour: Most hotels in the area can provide information on jungle tours. There are different options available. Most will run several hours and include a simple lunch. This is the best way to see different varieties of cactus, orchids, birds, fish, and cenote turtles (most jungle tours also include a visit to hidden, unmarked cenotes).

Fly fishing: The fresh water lagoons in the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve offer some of the best fly fishing in the world in the Boca-Paila lagoon.
