Tulum is a pre-Columbian Mayan walled city located on the east coast of the Yucatán Peninsula in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo, situated on cliffs overlooking the Caribbean Sea. It served as a major port primarily for the Mayan city of Coba and flourished between the 13th and 15th centuries. The site was one of the last cities inhabited by the Maya and is one of the best- preserved coastal Maya sites, known for its historical ruins such as the Castillo, the Temple of the Frescoes, and the Temple of the Descending God. Besides its archaeological significance, Tulum is now a popular tourist destination famous for its stunning beaches, ecological resorts, cenotes, and vibrant cultural atmosphere. The modern town of Tulum has grown significantly in recent decades, becoming a hub for travelers seeking a blend of history, nature, and wellness.
