Die Geschichte von Tulum

Tulum — a name derived from the Mayan word for "wall" — was an ancient Mayan walled city perched dramatically on cliffs above the Caribbean Sea, serving as a major trading port during the Postclassic period (900–1521 AD).

During the early 20th century, Tulum was largely forgotten, its ruins reclaimed by jungle. The construction of roads connecting the Yucatán peninsula brought the first explorers, and by the 1970s, Tulum became a magnet for hippies and adventurers drawn to its mystical Mayan ruins and pristine Caribbean beaches.

Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, Tulum transformed from a hidden gem into one of Mexico's most coveted destinations. International travelers discovered its perfect combination of Mayan heritage, cenotes, white-sand beaches, and turquoise Caribbean waters. The town grew steadily while retaining its bohemian character — a rare feat for a Mexican beach destination.

Today, Tulum is one of Mexico's fastest-growing tourist destinations with a booming population, yet it still retains a magical, otherworldly atmosphere. The arrival of the Maya Train, a growing digital nomad community, and international recognition as a world-class wellness and adventure destination have cemented its status — while preserving the authentic Maya culture, indigenous traditions, and natural beauty that make it truly special.

Wasserabenteuer & Natur

The best conditions for snorkeling and cenote diving are year-round, with visibility often exceeding 100 meters in cenotes. Whale shark season runs June–September near Isla Holbox. The vibe here is authentic and welcoming — a perfect mix of bohemian freedom, Mayan mysticism, and Caribbean paradise.

Indigene Kultur & Yucatekische Traditionen

Handwerkliche Mezcal-Destillerie in Oaxaca

Tulum sits within Mixtec and Chatino indigenous territory. Oaxaca is Mexico's most ethnically diverse state, home to 16 indigenous groups and more indigenous languages than any other region. Their influence is woven into every aspect of local life — from food and textiles to festivals and spiritual traditions.

The mezcal you'll drink here is distilled using ancestral techniques passed down through generations. The 7 moles of Oaxaca — complex sauces made from dozens of ingredients — are a culinary art form. Hand-woven textiles, black pottery from San Bartolo Coyotepec, and fantastical alebrijes wood carvings represent centuries of artistic tradition.

Major cultural events include Día de los Muertos (Oct 31–Nov 2), the Maya New Year celebrations, and the Festival Internacional Xcaret México. These celebrations offer a window into the deep spiritual and communal traditions of the Maya people.

shield Ist Tulum Sicher?

Tulum is considered one of the safest beach destinations in Quintana Roo and Mexico. The town relies heavily on tourism and the local community is welcoming and friendly. Standard travel precautions apply: use hotel safes, avoid walking alone on unlit beaches at night, and secure your belongings.

Water safety is important — some beaches have strong currents. Always respect beach flag warnings and follow guide instructions in cenotes. Wear a life vest for all water activities.

Health tips: Drink bottled water only (never tap water). Wear sunscreen — the tropical sun is intense. Bring insect repellent for evenings and jungle excursions. In case of emergency, dial 911.
