Uncover Tulum’s Jaguar Park: Mayan Heritage & Eco-Tourism Gem.

Located in Tulum, Quintana Roo, Jaguar Park is growing as a unique space that links the Tulum-Tankah archaeological zone, the Eastern Coast Museum, and nature conservation. The park not only protects the natural environment but also showcases the cultural richness of the region.

Since September 2024, Jaguar Park has been a part of Tulum's protected natural area. The park is managed by the National Commission for Protected Natural Areas (Conanp) and the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH), in partnership with the Airport, Railway, Auxiliary Services, and Olmeca-Maya-Mexica Connection Group (Gafsacomm), a company operated by Sedena. The park spans 2,000 hectares.

Visitors arriving at the Maya Train station can explore various park attractions, such as the archaeological zone, the Eastern Coast Museum, or a viewpoint with 163 steps, using electric trucks provided by the same company.

The Eastern Coast Museum is the newest addition to Mexico's 1,250 museums, making the country second worldwide in terms of the number of museums and first in Latin America. The museum focuses on the Eastern Coast archaeological region, which represents the Late Postclassic period (1200-1521). It serves as an introduction to the Tulum archaeological zone and broadens visitors' understanding of a culturally rich environment, featuring sites like Holbox, Isla Mujeres, Xcaret, Xelhá, Muyil, and more.

Jaguar Park is renowned for its archaeological and natural attractions, such as beaches, mangroves, and the low jungle. It aims to connect visitors with the region's living history, demonstrating that Mayan traditions persist in local farming practices and relationships with nature. The park exemplifies sustainable cultural tourism by combining heritage preservation with the promotion of Tulum's archaeological and natural treasures.
