Mystical, Mayan… Tulum

Filed Under: Tulum Luxury

Tulum is the home to one of the best-preserved coastal ancient Mayan cities. Throughout Tulum you can feel the presents of the ancient Mayans who inhabited this great city long ago.

Tulum truly is a mystical city

Tulum, the Mayan word for fence or wall, refers to the wall built around the ancient Mayan city to defend it sometime ago. Tulum was formerly known by the name “Zama”, meaning “city of dawn” because it faces the beautiful sunrise. This ancient city stands on a bluff, facing east, towards the breathtaking Caribbean Sea. This ancient Mayan City housed approximately 1,500 Mayans and was an important trade hub since it had access to both land and sea routes. Tulum was also an important site of worship to the Descending gods.

Around these ancient Mayan ruins grow the city of Tulum. Tulum is an ecologically chic city with gorgeous sunsets and pristine beaches.

In the city of Tulum lies the new and trendy neighborhood Aldea Zama. Aldea Zama has a unique “pedestrian only” promenade lined with restaurants, shops and holds farmers markets just like the ancient Mayans would have held some time ago. There are bike paths whined throughout the neighborhood and Aldea Zama is just a bike ride away from the crystal clear blue water of the Caribbean Sea.
