So make sure to take advantage of this gorgeous space.

Tulum was the last great city constructed and inhabited by the Mayan people between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries. It was a site of worship to the Great Descending God whose image adorns the temples within the site. Tulum was also of great importance for sea trade, most specifically for the trading of obsidian. Tribes from all over Mexico and other Central American countries would travel here for commerce.


Today, numerous structures remain, spread out over groomed lawns and oceanside cliffs. The site’s buildings are an evolution of architectural styles that showcase the growth of the area over the centuries.

Xcaret Park is a privately owned and operated theme park, resort, and self-described ecotourism development located in the Riviera Maya. Because it is in Playa Del Carmen, it is outside of Tulum. However, coordinating a shuttle to Playa Del Carmen is easy and Xcaret Park is a wonderful way to spend the day in Mexico.

"Ven a la Luz" – or "Come Into The Light" – was created by South African artist Daniel Popper. That sculpture has been on display in Tulum since its inclusion in a major art festival in 2018, but it is now being moved to Ahau Tulum permanently. The striking sculpture is ten meters tall and is a multimedia project, made from wood, rope, steel, and natural plant life. Showing a woman with eyes closed, holding her chest apart, the sculpture was created to represent man’s delicate relationship with nature.
