Five Days in Tulum

Just south of Cancun along the beach, is a tiny town named Tulum. Over the years it’s attracted those who wanted to move by the beach and slow things down. The downtown area is like any mid-sized city, with a variety of shops and businesses, sprinkled with the occasional expat-owned cafes and boutiques. But it’s along the beach where the most change has taken place. Hotels, restaurants, shops, bars, boutiques and cafes line a small road where there are no sidewalks so people and trucks share the way.

The prices along the hotel zone are considerably higher for the same things that are in downtown Tulum. Oh, and yoga. There are lots of yoga classes, yoga studios and yoga retreats going on along this strip that it is also referred to as “yoga zone.”
