The Pueblo,
or town, is located on highway 307 about a kilometer off the beach. There are
more and more services being offered as the town begins to flourish from the
massive influx of visitors and year round residents as well. There are cool little
restaurants, bars, and internet cafes popping up everywhere, as well as bigger
Mexican chains such as the grocery store, San
Francisco, the restaurant 100% Natural, and the
popular internet café El Point. Popular to kiteboarders you will often see the skies speckled with color on windy days as the adrenaline junkies fly high off
the coastline. The entrance to Sian Kaan Biosphere Reserve is located only about 15 minutes from town, which boasts long stretches of deserted Caribbean beaches, and hundreds of different species of wild and plant life. Just an hour west of highway 307 is the archaeological site Coba, home to the tallest pyramid in the Yucatan (approximately 140 feet/ 42 meters). Nohoch Mul, meaning large hill, is not only the tallest pyramid in the region, but is one of the few that you are still able to climb. The famous cenotes of the Riviera Maya are prevalent, in and around Tulum, and these amazing freshwater sinkholes are the entrance to one of the largest underground river systems in the world. From swimming holes, to, highly decorated caves, you can explore these natural wonders for days and never tire of them and divers from across the globe travel here to do just that. So not only does Tulum have some of the worlds most beautiful beaches, but it is also home to the sacred cenotes of the Maya, archaeological sites, protected parks, great food, and a laid back "Eco-Chic" attitude.
