Tulu'um is the site of a pre-Columbian Mayan walled city which served as a major port for Coba, in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo. The ruins are situated on 12-meter-tall (39 ft) cliffs along the east coast of the Yucatán Peninsula on the Caribbean Sea. Tulum was one of the last cities built and inhabited by the Maya and achieved its greatest prominence between the 13th and 15th centuries. Maya continued to occupy Tulum for about 70 years after the Spanish began occupying Mexico, but the city was abandoned by the end of the 16th century. Tulum is one of the best-preserved coastal Maya sites, and today a popular site for tourists.
I’m from Mexico and the thing you saw in the pharmacy was shocking idk if That’s a tulum thing but for sure a normal pharmacy in other states are not going to sell you drugs like xanax with no medical recipe cuz it’s still a regulated medicine
@@btcjoeloh jeeze now I need to move to Mexico.. I have panic disorder and they won't prescribe that shiz in Canada even if you lose your job from intense panic attacks and are too afraid to leave your house now... Heh.. Ugh.
The last time I stayed in a hotel in a non-touristic city in Mexico I was charged like 65 usd a night and the cheapest hotel was like 45 usd (and it looked kind of sketchy tbh). The price they gave you, especially in a place like Tulum was actually cheap for Mexican standards. I'm Mexican btw.
One thing that has struck me after watching a lot of videos is the fact that youve managed to hang on to your Ray-Bans for so long. Most people I know are shit at taking care of their sunglasses. I run a Sunglass Hut though so I guess its good for me lol
I walked down those same dirt roads, south of avenida tulum down calle beta sur It looks sketch, lots of street dogs but actually pretty safe day and night, friendly people
When you took that wrong turn down the street to where the man who lived and worked on cardboard recycling is definitely my favorite part of the video. Back streets of Tulum.
Palenque is also a historical place for magic mushrooms since the ancient times in Mexico. From what I understand they basically grown all around there near the pyramid complexes.
San Jose del Pacifico, Oaxaca is the capital of shrooms. Legal. And full of guides and shaman etc. And less BS. Tulum 25 years ago was amazing. Glad I saw it then for sure. It's only gonna get worse with the train and the airport but it was nice while it lasted. You're in the turista area but not the hotel zone. Never can complain about the Caribe tho. Have fun.
I always had great street awareness wherever I was...I was there once and got a ton of mushrooms from a couple surfers. Lol I was watching homie surf and he comes over says what's good eventually and I could tell his eyes were dilated...he was catching a buzz and catching some waves
I love the Mexican people some of the nicest and giving people I have ever met i worked with a dude that was Mexican and I had no lunch and was completely broke because I just started the job so the first 2 weeks where hard until I got paid.

Learned from the people that work at the resorts that the coast of quintana roo is basically owned by foreign investors, not much is owned my mexicans. The government turns a blind eye because of the money they bring, foreigners are not suppose to own land in mexico. Its a catch 22 , foreign investors bring jobs to the people (the people do like that) but you lose the authencity. Going to the small pueblos or the centers where locals live gives you the reality and authenticity. Just have to be willing to venture.
