A tropical paradise can mean so many different things, but often it brings to mind warm waters, towering palm trees and bright sunshine blazing down over white sands littered with coconuts. Rustic wood architecture, hut-like houses and secluded barefoot pathways tend to follow suit. While many places on earth could fall into this category, they always seem far away, out-of-reach and sometimes not even real. But in Mexico, one town is filled with every paradisal quality you can think of. Located in the state of Quintana Roo, Tulum is an ancient city of the Mayans and a modern day Instagram-wonderland. Hammocks under palapas among lush tropical foliage and open-air, breezy rooms are common among the beachside town. Gaining popularity among young travelers and bloggers, Tulum has placed itself on the wanderlust radar. Keep scrolling for some of our favorite photos of Tulum that embody the city’s vibe and atmosphere. Your eyes will thank you.
