Tulum Vacations, Tulum Vacation Reviews, Tourism Guide

Tulum is a small town along the Riviera Maya, south of Xel-ha, and is the site of a Mayan fortress city, as well. The ruins are just north of town. It is a smaller site than others in the Yucatan, such as Chichen Itza, Coba, and Uxmal. However, Tulum is the only major site the Maya built on the Caribbean coast. The site is quite picturesque, having been built directly on a cliff directly above the ocean.

The Tulum Hotel Zone stretches for many kilometers along the beach down Punta Allen, all the way to the Sian Ka'an Biopreserve. Downtown Tulum includes several restaurants and small hotels, a couple of eco-adventure agencies, an internet cafe and a bus station. Tulum can be reached by bus from Cancun in under three hours, and from Valladolid via Coba.
