Importance of Tulum National Park

The importance of the Tulum National Park lies in its natural and cultural wealth, distributed over its 664 hectares that include spectacular beaches, cenotes, lush jungle and an archaeological zone.

Destination for ecotourism

It is a favorite destination for ecotourists, because although it is not large in size, it is home to important endemic plants and animals. Some of these species are in danger of extinction, such as the hawksbill, leatherback, white and loggerhead turtles, which are protected here by the Federal Government.

The home of many species

The mangroves of this park are also of great relevance, for being the habitat of numerous seabirds and for being a natural protective barrier from hurricanes. In addition, anteaters, tepezcuintles, armadillos, howler monkeys and spider monkeys, as well as armadillos, weasels and squirrels, coexist here.

Its wonderful natural settings extend to the subsoil, due to the variety of cenotes and underground rivers that connect with the sea. The area between Tulum and Cobá stands out and due to its importance, it is identified as Priority Hydrological Region number 107, by CONABIO (National Commission for the Knowledge and Use of Biodiversity).

An strategic and historical port

The archaeological zone of Tulum is located within the park, the most important in the Riviera Maya.
