Tulum - Journey Mexico
 Tulum INTROD INTRODUCTION Tulum is one of the most visited and beautiful Mayan cities in Mexico; part of its charm is that it was built facing the ocean, on a cliff from where the turquoise shades of the Caribbean Ocean can be admired in all their splendor. This destination combines culture, history and one of the best beaches in all of Mexico. At the southern end of the archaeological zone is one of the most peaceful beaches in the Riviera. Here you will not find 500-­‐room hotels or a large infrastructure; on the contrary, you can rent luxurious or rustic cabins, depending on your taste and your budget. Tulum is located about 43 miles to the south of Playa del Carmen. In Tulum, the cuisine is based on fish and seafood, freshly caught in the Caribbean Ocean. These marine dishes are prepared with Mayan ingredients and techniques, giving them a unique flavor. What’s more, this place is going through a culinary boom thanks to renowned chefs who reinterpret regional dishes with a gourmet touch. / visitmexico.com Puerto Vallarta
