‘Tulum’ in the ancient mayan language means ‘wall’ or ‘fence’ as the tulum ruins were orinally a walled city. Tulum is a 1.5hrs drive from Cancun, but soon a much quicker hop when the tulum airport is completed. Tulum is on the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, on the caribbean side. The beaches are some of the best in the world and backed by virgin jungle. Local activities besides the beach include snorkeling, scuba diving, exploring cenotes (underground caves), adventure parks and exploring Mayan archaeological sites like the fantastic Chichen Itza.
Tulum is relatively undeveloped compared to other areas in the region with very few large beach front developments. Tulum has a laid back hippy vibe and is a big area for eco tourism. If you are looking for a more commercial destination, there are plently of quality resorts in Cancun, Cozumel and Playa Del Carmen.
