Welcome to Tulum
Millenia-old Mayan ruins perch dramatically on cliffs that overlook the azure waters of the Caribbean Sea in Tulum, a Mexican beach destination that exemplifies the Yucatan’s cultural heritage and tropical beauty. Come for the ruins—best explored on a day trip that combines the archeological zone with nearby cenotes, coral reefs, or the cave networks of Rio Secreto—and stay for more of the top things to do in Tulum, including tequila tasting, taco eating, and relaxing on the white-sand beaches lapped by the warm waters of the Caribbean.
