A village situated on the Mexican coast, Tulúm is also an archaeological site situated a little further north of the actual pueblo (village) itself. Along with Chichén Itzá, it is part of the Yucatan peninsula’s Mayan heritage and also contains ruins of thousand year old buildings. Much smaller and less impressive than Chichén Itzá, it may be a good idea to visit Tulúm before going to Chichén Itzá, to avoid disappointment.

A nice outing, a visit to Tulúm will have you go past a Hotel Zone, close to the beautiful beaches, from which you will be able to access the Sian Ka’an biosphere.
