Whether you live here full time or part time, there are many activities unique to this part of the Riviera Maya that make life in Tulum a genuine adventure. Whether it’s the vast network of Cenotes that express themselves as ponds or lakes open to the sunshine, or as underground rivers that wind through caves and open areas; whether they are primitive and relatively unchanged since their creation millions of years ago – or they have become resort-like with bartenders and restaurants, the discovery of Cenotes is a never ending adventure.

Perhaps exploring the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve only minutes from FloraFauna electrifies your appreciation of the ancient and rare beauty of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. This is another world where you can explore Mayan ruins, float in a Mayan Canal, or take an eco-tour of the waterways and mangroves of these wetlands. Of course, the beaches in Tulum are world renowned as among the most beautiful in the world. You can find public beach access with nearby restaurants and massages or take advantage of the many beach clubs with full staffs to provide you lounge chairs and exotic cocktails all day long. Owning in FloraFauna entitles you to special privileges at Cinco Beach Club – a favorite of the residents of FloraFauna. Mayan Ruins abound in the Yucatan. Tulum’s was one of the last cities inhabited by the Maya people. Its ruins include well preserved temples and stunning views of the Tulum coastline. See https://tulumruins.net/ There are several other important sites for the ruins of this once sophisticated culture that can be found in nearby Muyil and Coba as well as the more distant Chichen Itza. The downtown scene – walkable from FloraFauna – offers every kind of food ranging from elegant sushi, Persian, Italian and high end Mexican cuisine to the simplest taco stands and nearby food truck restaurant, Palma Central, and everything in between. In addition a stop on a hot day for a cold beer or a walk through the many shops offering beautiful linen apparel and collectibles makes for a great start to your day that then brings you home for a late afternoon dip in your own private pool. The restaurant scene at the beach is truly world class. Only a short drive down the Kukulkan Road delivers you to a rich variety of restaurants and clubs where you can dance until dawn or sample the very best in international cuisines. If your prefer a simpler experience there is no shortage of resorts and along the beach road offering yoga retreats, healing seminars and dozens of other experiential opportunities.

If you need to explore more of Mexico outside of Tulum, you are only a drive away from Merida, Coba, Valladolid or the small nearby towns of Macario Gomez and Francisco Uh May where you can find fun local eateries and lots of hand-crafted home furnishings. But then there is always your own private villa, where cooking in an open and large kitchen area with a large dining area and outdoor patio makes entertaining a joy. Having a detached private casita as well as a separate guest bedroom and bath in the main house allows for visits from family and friends a comfortable and easy event. But at the end of the day, to enjoy a sunset from your rooftop deck, perhaps with your favorite drink while hummingbirds sample your exotic flowers, enveloped in the quiet of the jungle is an experience that changes your soul.
