Why is it so popular?

A PLACE TO PARTY LIKE NO OTHER

A BIT OF HISTORY

The name Tulum is derived from the Mayan word "Tulúm" which means “wall or stone that stands”. This name was given due to its structure that covers the four cardinal points.

This place was once a sacred site for the Mayan civilization used for maritime trades, astronomy, religious rituals, and ancient ceremonies. It has an abundance of Mayan ruins and temples, with the most notable being the Temple of the Jaguar.

In fact, the ancient Mayans believed that Tulum was an energetic center where they could communicate with their gods. They believed that they could harness this energy and use it for different purposes such as healing or divination. The Mayans also believed that Tulum was a gateway to other dimensions, which they called Xibalba or the "Place of Fear."

This ancient energy has carried on as the years go by and maintained strong as the first parties started appearing. 

ORIGIN OF THE FIRST PARTIES IN TULUM

To understand the impact of Tulum’s nightlife we have to take a journey back in time to how this party spot started. Nevertheless, every story has an origin place, and interesting enough for Tulum,  Playa del Carmen is theirs.

This festival had a large number of international and local attendees, however, in 2017 the safety of these parties was compromised and the festival was forced to move to Portugal where it is currently being held.

This left electronic music fans on the verge of finding a new place to continue this party legacy and that is the time when the energies of Tulum draw the attention of these people and the parties started moving towards this place.

WHEN IT BECAME POPULAR

Since that event, the focus on Tulum as a party spot grew exponentially, reaching international levels. Festivals including Zamna started showing up to be part of Tulum’s nightlife. 

The parties continued for a while and in 2020 the pandemic stroke the world.  In this challenging time, Tulum became a capsule frozen in time where travelers from around the world went to distract themselves for a bit from all the madness happening. 

The necessity to hold on to music and have fun while maintaining safety is what drove all party planners, venues, musicians, and party promoters (like us 😀) to find new ways to keep alive the nightlife in Tulum. 

The Jungle Parties were formed by this time, which was a new concept of partying that contributed to the popularity of Tulum’s nightlife. These Jungle Parties combine music, great lineups of DJs, adventure, and travelers & locals for parties usually till sunrise. 

Since then, and several viral parties and epic moments inside the events later, the nightlife in Tulum gained the international popularity that it has nowadays.
