A hidden treasure trove of beautiful beaches and tranquil seas close to ancient ruins, Tulum is a must-see stop for any visitor to the Riviera Maya on the Yucatan’s Caribbean coast. Although the structures of the old walled city of Tulum were built almost 1,500 years ago, today’s traveler will relish the site’s bluff location with limitless views of the sea. Its enormous size and complexity are stunning. Among the other reasons to make a vacation rental here your home away from home are its quiet ambience, affordability and proximity to fantastic fishing and diving sites.
A camera to capture the outstanding sights and scenery of Tulum is mandatory. Whether a visitor decides to spend an entire holiday diving on the reefs or in the underwater caves, fishing in the depths for marlin and sailfish or in the flats for bonefish and snapper, a waterproof camera is a good way to save memories of a special day in this pristine paradise.
For a relatively small town that is not yet overrun with tourists, Tulum has a good selection of restaurants that feature local cuisine. Sopa de limon, a zesty, chicken based lime soup, gets rave reviews. Many regional pork and chicken dishes are popular menu selections by both tourists and locals.
A vacation rental villa or condo offers many amenities and a location that is close to everything.
