if you’ve not yet explored Tulum, it’s a jungle city positioned on the Caribbean which boasts a hippie/hipster vibe, and has a slew of restaurants serving unique and delicious food and of course, margaritas. Imagine waking up to the scent of fragrant plumerias, smoked tropical woods, spicy peppermints, tobacco leaves, juicy limes and orange blossoms. good, right? i’ve been dying to visit tulum, ever since bri posted this great guide to visiting. We will be staying in a modern new property on the outskirts of Tulum. The house is in the very southern part of the town, about a 20-minute walk to most bars, cafes and restaurants – or a 3 minute bike ride. It has a roof top pool, pool deck, barbeque and kitchen space, a large private garden and bikes for us to use. There are beautiful views of the jungle and the property is located in a neighborhood with a mixture of cultures giving it an incredible vibe. It is nicely designed, functional and has spacious studios. We will be nestled away inside the jungle as this location will prove to be much more private and quaint than the large beach-side resorts — not to worry though the beach is close and easy to get to. i cannot wait!! for all the details, hop on over to ace camps — registration is open!
