where are cancun and tulum located
Located 131 kilometers south of Cancun, just 20 minutes south of Akumal on Hwy. 307. Facing the sea, Tulum is impressive and powerful. Known as the Walled City, Tulum was thought to be one of the most important cities of the ancient Mayan during its time.

Intrepid travelers who want to experience Mexico's untouched beauty should bypass the concrete-high-rise jungle that is Cancun, and beeline down the Yucatan Peninsula coast to Tulum. While it houses plenty of comfortable accommodations and restaurants catering to all budgets, incredibly, Tulum remains largely untouched by overwhelming development.
