Tulum has been increasingly becoming a popular destination for tourist from all over the world. Located 81 miles south of Cancun International Airport, Tulum offers a quiet and relaxing alternative for tourists tired of crowds.
Zama (place of Dawn) was the name given to Tulum by the Mayans and it was a city of importance, with a population estimated around the 1,600 inhabitants. The walled city of Zama had an active economy, with access to land and sea routes it had commercial trade with places as far as Guatemala.
The Zama inhabitants also would trade with areas all over Central Mexico and Central America, the proof is that they have found copper artifacts, flint artifacts, ceramics, incense burners, and gold objects from all over.
Nowadays Tulum is still a small village, with a traditional little town vibe. The locals and the government have done a huge effort to preserve nature and the traditional lifestyle, trying to avoid becoming a place like Cancun or Playa del Carmen.
You will notice the difference as soon as you get to the touristic area, there are restrictions for high buildings; most of the hotels are one or two stories high. Also the materials need to be local and the style has to blend in with nature and the electricity has to be provided by sun or wind sources.
Most of the hotels are small and cozy, run by local families and the vast majority have very basic accommodations. Air conditioning is rare, as well as nightclubs or shopping malls, Tulum is for the young at heart and for people trying to disconnect from routine and connect with nature.
One of the newest areas being developed in Tulum is Aldea Zama, located a couple blocks back from the beach is a gated community that offers all the services and comforts you are used to. Aldea Zama offers apartments, villas and lots to build your dream home in the Caribbean, while trying to preserve the spirit of Tulum.
Aldea Zama offers its residents huge gardens, walking paths and all services such as: electricity, running water, sewage and internet. It will also have a commercial area with shopping options and local coffee shops and restaurants; all within walking distance.
