Explore Tulum Holidays
Tulum offers the perfect combination of total relaxation, tranquility and seclusion, yet fill your day with the many interesting and rich activities in the area.
Tulum's greatest attraction is its location. It stands on a cliff facing the rising sun looking out on views of the Caribbean that are nothing less than spectacular. The long stretch of beach is very secluded and private, the tranquility and peaceful sense is completely relaxing and healing to the mind and body.
If you want to get as close as possible to the Pre-Columbian Maya civilisation, then there are few better places to visit than the ancient Mayan city of Tulum, on the south east coast of Mexico. El Castillo, the Temple of the Frescoes, and the Temple of the Descending God, all in the historic core of Tulum, remain three of the most famous surviving Maya structures in the world.
Even if you don't care for all that, though, Tulum remains a tranquil and fascinating place to spend that holiday.
History on Your Holiday to Tulum
Investigating the three major structures of the historic Mayan city and learning about their history can be a lot of fun. Images of the Mayan "diving god" can be spotted throughout the Temples of the Frescoes and the Descending God, while the 7.5m-tall Castillo was likely described in the first published detailed description of the ruins in 1843.
