Foreign Residents Will Have Free Access to the Jaguar Park in Tulum

Governor Mara Lezama and the municipal president of Tulum Diego Castañón Trejo announced on their social networks that free access to the Jaguar Park will be extended to foreign residents who prove their legal stay in this municipality.

To access the benefit, local residents must present an official identification (INE) with a domicile in Tulum, while foreigners can do so using their residence card. In addition, the City Council will issue residence cards to those who do not yet have said document, provided that they present a contract that proves their domicile in the municipality.

The program also includes a credentialing process that will begin in January, in collaboration with the National Commission of Protected Natural Areas (Conanp), the Secretariat of National Defense (Sedena) and the State Government. This process, which will be free, will allow locals, nationals and foreigners to enjoy the beaches of the municipality free of charge.

“This agreement not only seeks to protect the integrity and security of the inhabitants of Tulum, but also to ensure that everyone can access our beaches without economic restrictions,” Castañón Trejo said in a message posted on social media.

The measure, which also seeks to strengthen the security and well-being of the community, has been considered a significant step forward in avoiding conflicts related to free access to beaches. In particular, this decision could deactivate a demonstration scheduled for December 30, called by citizens demanding free access to these natural spaces.

With this agreement, the authorities hope to promote integration and equitable enjoyment of natural resources in Tulum, strengthening the sense of community between locals and international residents.
