  • The Complete Guide to Tulum: Where to Stay, Eat, and Wander
    The Complete Guide to Tulum: Where to Stay, Eat, and Wander Tulúm is holding true to its origins as a cross roads: between the intensive development to the north and pristine nature to the south. By Jessica Seba, Community Manager, Journey Mexico Tulum, a once “off the beaten path” destination on Mexico’s dazzling Caribbean Coast, is known for its picturesque Mayan archaeological site perched on a cliff overlooking the turquoise blue Mexican-Caribbean sea. Today, as the region has grown into a world-class tourism destination, it is one of the most visited Mayan sites. As increased visitation and development pushes down the coast from Cancun, Tulum has retained its bohemian, wild feel and is home to some of the most spectacular beaches in the world. It has evolved from a cross-roads trading post of the Mayan Civilization to a truck stop village into the type of “travelers place” that reminds us why we travel in the first place! In the beginning Tulum was placed firmly on the backpackers map and had relatively little to no infrastructure for travelers. The intrepid hung their hammocks between the swaying palm trees, pitched their tents, and quietly enjoyed the white sand beaches, crystalline waters, virgin cenotes with a few others and with nesting sea turtles and other abundant wildlife. As the word spread of spectacular, secluded beaches and solitude, Tulum became a haven for nature lovers, yoga practitioners, divers, and those looking to escape the mass tourism that enveloped Cancun and then spread down the Riviera Maya. Today Tulum continues its evolution and now welcomes trendy travelers with a full array of boutique hotels, unique restaurants, and even an organic and tranquil nightlife scene (except for Saturday nights when Papaya Playa pulses and brings in internationally renowned DJs!).

  • Tulum in Mexico
    Tulum in Mexico Tulum is a seaside town in Mexico known for ancient Mayan sites and cenotes in Riviera Maya. Rising from the turquoise splendor of the many-hued Caribbean, Tulum is a seaside pueblo of man-made wonders and natural treasures. The town, still staying true to its origins, has emerged from being an off-the-beaten-path pit stop for backpackers to new-wave tourism destination. Practice snorkeling in the azure waters, take a canal trip through the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve in the afternoon, and book yourself a refreshing Temazcal session: to stay or to leave, therein lies the conundrum. Come here to bathe in its rustic elegance and go back revitalized with lots of memories. History This Mayan site was known as 'Zama', which means “place of the dawning sun.” A former trading post of the Mayan Civilization, it was among the last cities inhabited by the Mayans and flourished between the 13th and the 15th centuries. In 1518, a Spanish explorer Juan de Grijalva was the first European to arrive here. The word 'Tulum' means wall or fence in Mayan language. Things to Do in Tulum Tulum Ruins – More than 60 Mayan ruins and temples, perched on 12-meter-high cliffs overlooking the Caribbean Sea, are the numero uno reason to visit this region. A 784-m-long wall, made of limestone, encloses the tallest building of El Castillo or the castle. The Temple of the Frescoes features statues, carvings, and colorful frescoes. Other significant temples are: Temple of the Initial Series and the Temple of the Descending God.

  • Fishing in Playa Del Carmen and the Riviera Maya
    Fishing in Playa del Carmen and the Riviera Maya Sports, or game fishing is often associated with the Pacific side of Mexico, but the shores of the Rivera Maya are quickly becoming a popular destination for sports fishing enthusiasts. Every year more and more people head to the Riviera Maya region of Mexico to enjoy their passion for one of the world's most popular activities, fishing. The great diversity of species that live close to the Great Maya Reef, which protects the coasts of the Mexican Caribbean, along with the possibility of sport fishing during the entire year, have turned Cancun, Isla Mujeres, Riviera Maya, Puerto Morelos, and the Sian Kaan Biosphere Reserve into some of the world’s top destinations for fishing. Fishing, in general, in the Riviera Maya is a once in a life time experience. The topaz blue waters, the clear view of the unforgettable reefs below, the palm-lined shore in the distance, and of course, the fertile waters that are teeming with fish. The natural geology of this area works in the fisherman's favor. Cancun and the deep-water channel between the Yucatan Coast and the Island of Cozumel squeeze the Gulf Stream as it passes by on its journey northward. This "funnel" effect causes an upwelling and an abundance of fish, from small to large, in the Cancun-Cozumel area. Anglers of all skill levels are able to participate and can enjoy fly fishing and light tackle fishing, deep sea fishing, and even some night fishing. The warm waters of the Riviera Maya are home to more than 35 large species of fish including Blue Marlin, White Marlin, Sailfish, Wahoo, Dorado (Mahi-Mahi), Tuna, Kingfish, Barracuda, Grouper, Snapper and many more.
