Tulum's Absolute Essentials
Tulum features a coastal Mayan archaeological site built primarily in the 14th century, alongside the inland jungle ruins of Coba. The region is home to the Sac Actun system, one of the world's longest underwater cave networks, accessible through Dos Ojos and Gran Cenote. Coastal highlights include the seven-kilometer Tulum Beach and the palm-lined Playa Paraiso. Natural lagoons like Xel-Há provide habitats for marine life and serve as both a theme park and an ancient Mayan port.
