Tulum, Coastal urban settlement in Quintana Roo, Mexico.
The town extends along the Caribbean coastline with numerous small hotels, restaurants, and shops spread throughout its central district.
Maria Uicab established this settlement between 1860 and 1870, initially naming it Santo Kaaj Tulum near the ancient Mayan ruins.
The population of 33,374 residents maintains connections to Maya heritage through local festivals, traditional cuisine, and religious practices.
The urban center features a network of paved roads connecting residential neighborhoods with commercial areas and public transportation services.
The December 2023 opening of Tulum International Airport marks a transformation from a former fishing village into a major transportation hub.
