The Magic of Tulum

I continue to be drawn back to Tulum like a migrating bird returning to the same destination when the right season has come. Although every time I visit, Tulum appears a little more developed (in other words touristy), yet it has maintained its charm of tranquillity, empty beaches and an un-spoiledness that is hard to find on the Yucatan Riviera.

Tulum (proudly as billboards display) has now advanced to the status of city from town but still not much seems to have changed. The same fruit-juice lady continues to sell a liter of fresh squeezed orange juice for 2USD and the same broken down rusty car continues to await its burial on the side of the street. After an eventual and exciting time in Cuba, a time of relaxation in Tulum is exactly what I need. I sense that even the old Mayas must have perceived the serenity of this place and decided to build their impressive temples here.
