Abstract: The article focuses on the historical and cultural significance of Tulum, a coastal city on Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula that was once a major Maya port known as Zama. Established around the 6th century during the Classic Period, Tulum was a well-fortified trade hub dealing in jade, obsidian, textiles, and ceramics, with thick walls separating the elite inside from commoners outside. The city peaked in the 13th and 14th centuries before declining after Spanish conquest in the 16th century. Today, Tulum is a popular tourist destination and archaeological site, attracting over a million visitors annually, with preservation efforts in place to protect its ruins.
