Located on the Caribbean coastline of Mexico's Yucipa Peninsula, Tulum is a breathtaking tropical paradise recognized for its well-preserved ruins of an ancient Mayan port city. Nestled on lofty cliff-tops overlooking the sparkling turquoise sea, Tulum boasts stunning archaeological sites that date back to pre-Columbian times, including the Castillo, a formidable fortress, and the Temple of the Descending God. Visitors are also drawn towards its underwater caves and the dreamy Tulum beaches, particularly the Paradise Beach. Also, the culturally rich city, renowned for its bohemian-chic atmosphere, serves as an eco-travel hub with plenty of eco-resorts and yoga retreats. The Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its biodiversity, is another must-visit spot for nature lovers exploring Tulum.

Mexico

Travelers heading to Mexico are advised to be highly cautious due to the persistent warnings from both Canadian and Australian governments. These precautions are due to elevated levels of criminal activities, including kidnapping and violent crime. It's recommended to stay vigilant at all times, avoid traveling alone or at night, keep important documents and valuables secured, and always inform someone trustworthy about your whereabouts. Stay away from unknown areas and maintain contact with your embassy throughout the trip.

I really loved staying in Tulúm and discover all the cenote. Mexican food is very good. My Host was amazing, she was taking me everywhere. I felt safe. I loved going to the beach with it’s bright blue water. Also all the zone, the restaurants, the museum were very beautiful . I really recommend going there.

I would be very careful in tulum, I didnt feel safe walking there alone even during the day, i have travelled alot of places and felt safe in many of them but in tulum i felt scared, i wouldnt travel there again and i even shortened my trip because i felt on edge
