WCC 2026 LOCATION

Tulum is the largest Maya construction built on the coast. Today it is Mexico’s most visited pre-Hispanic site. Tulum was a very important center of commerce and a place of pilgrimage in the past. This royal city, perched on limestone cliffs, is worth a visit because of the magnificent view and the charm of its buildings.

Only 131 km (78 miles) south of Cancun, the walled city of Tulum was the first Mayan community reportedly sighted by the Spanish in the 16th century. Perched atop a cliff overlooking the Caribbean, it is Quintana Roo’s most famous and well – restored site. Playa del Carmen is known mainly for white sand beaches, turquoise waters, and a laid back bohemian vibe. Not too long ago it was a fishing village but has now become the #1 destination in Mexico.

There are so many fun things to do. The famous 5th avenue is a pedestrian walkway that runs through town and is lined with shops, restaurants, bars and palm trees with twinkly lights. Right off the coast, you will find the Meso-American Barrier Reef, the second longest coral reef in the world. It is a wonderland for snorkelers and scuba divers alike.
