The production reminds me of older PBS travel shows like Globe Trekkers, mixed with various Anthony Bourdain series. There is something nostalgic and familiar that really hits home for me, great work, can't wait for more!
Oh how so many on line and U tube tourist influencer can learn from how this young lady presents. She acknowledges the locals, includes lessons, and knowledge for the viewers. Extremely well done. And she makes an admirable attempt at Spanish.

Just visited. Such a cool, hip chic beach town and vibe. People were friendly. Mexicans visiting there were chill. Didn’t see a lot of foreigners compared to Cancun

The goddess of that Mayan alter on the ceremony is not Maya! It’s name is Xochipilli (from aztec flower’s princess) and is from the Aztecs from the center of Mexico (Mexico city now), this show indeed a hidden side of the current ceremony sold to tourists, are not authentic mayan ceremonies, also the Temazcal or Temazcalli in Náhuatl (the language of the aztecs again) is a tradition from the cultures of the center of México, not Mayan at all, this was newly introduced in the region to sell it to tourists, specially the super commercial Dos Palmas, sad but truth, I’m a Náhuatl speaker and born from indigenous family.
My wife and I stayed in Tulum for 3 amazing weeks back in '96. We rented a palapa on the beach in Don Armando's and the Santa Fe campgrounds. We were back packing around Mexico but with a car, 11 weeks to circumnavigate the whole coast of the country. If I'd known then what I know now we would have spent the whole 11 weeks right there. We snorkeled all day, lazed on the beach, and drove into town at night to eat at the many roadside restaurants and eateries. It was one of the most relaxing times of my life.
don armando and santa fe were destroyed by hurracaine, they didnt continue. Santa Fe after many years of abandon , start a trendy ecologic resort in 2023.
@Pedro VIVAMXadventures That is so sad. We went back a few times over the years, tried once to show the area to some friends but the whole place, including Tulum town, had changed so much. It's the same problem everywhere around the world, your old neighborhood etc. You can never go back. It's just doubly sad when it's such a spectacular place as Tulum.
@@pedrovivamxadventures8931 vaya q triste lo bueno es que vivira en su memoria , ami me acaba de pasar algo parecido, mi primer experiencia en tulum fue mágica hace apenas unos 2 años y repeti hace un año pero lamentablemente hace un mes mi mujer paso a ese magico sencillo y barato bungalow pero ya no existe......... , sin duda el mejor bungalow con el mejor amanecer y vista en el q jamas he estado, Adios Azúcar hotel ojala reconstruyan algo parecido y no solo "modernicen" para esos europeos q les gusta lo comodito...
Yes, I was there a few times in 78. No hotels. Stayed in a cabaña on the beach south of the pyramid. Bought fish in the mornings direct from the fishermen. Stunning place, gorgeous beach. Sad to see it now,
Love the style of shooting, the shot sequences, the timing + background music. And, Love the narration, great voice and commanding, yet warm, visual presence. Also, love the use of fonts. You guys have style and it feels like you are putting out fun and exciting quality work while maintaining a healthy respect for the places you visit. Bravo, I tip my hat to you two! Congratulations!
I went to Tulum in 1987 before it became what it is now. It was a magical experience. We had an elderly Mayan man as our tour guide. The ruins on the beach seemed surreal like something from an Indiana Jones movie. It's just sad to see what it's become.
@@xxxxxx-tq4mw Yes, we took the fairy from Cozumel to Playa De Carmen and took a bus thru the jungle to the ruins. It was just magic. The elderly Mayan guide was very knowledgeable and was full of reverence for his ancestors. It's just sad what it's become today, but it gives the natives a living.
Great video. It strongly reflects what we see here on Bali where i have been living for a decade now. Out of control development along the coast, making way for one new beach club after the other. The result is no more local feeling at the beaches, hard to find local food in these areas, and let along affordable food for local people. Social media really has destroyed these places.
I lived in Tulum 40 years ago and it was a beach with 2 cabana yards without a town Paradise, if 10 people were there that would have been considered a crowd I love your videos, keep em coming If you visit Guatemala try Xela Quetzaltenango 🌹💐🌷

Muy buen video. Aunque por el título me imaginé que trataría de los efectos que provocan el crecimiento descontrolado en el medio ambiente al igual que el desplazamiento de la gente nativa. Este problema lo hemos padecido durante muchos años en diferentes pueblos y ciudades de México en donde pareciera que ya es muy tarde para hacer algo. Espero que algún día se pueda hacer algo para proteger nuestra naturaleza, cultura y gente. No quiero ser mala vibra, yo también disfruto mucho de estos lugares pero también me doy cuenta de estos problemas. Que tengan todos un buen día!
Estoy de acuerdo, lo mismo pensé que trataría el video y bueno es un poco mas de lo mismo. La búsqueda de una experiencia "auténtica" en ojos de quien no padece esos problemas. No está mal la intención del video, de alguna forma intenta apoyar a la gente local consumiendo en ciertas zonas y promoviendo la cultura bajo sus vivencias pero la explotación comercial de la imagen cultural en los mercados internacionales hacen que poco a poco el problema de la gentrificacion en esa y muchas zonas de México sea más común y en realidad termine afectando a la gente local a la cual pretenden apoyar, es muy contrastante y evidente, pero hay que cuestionarse si de verdad vale la pena comercializar tanto nuestra cultura en pro de la hegemonía dominante.
Se necesita buenas autoridades y empezar a hacer estudios intensos sobre cuanta población puede soportar cada región del país y de ser necesario limitar la natalidad a 1 o 2 hijos por pareja, pues la otra solución es construir enormes condominios pero es feo vivir como sardina y el trafico seria horrible.
Wow such professional production and presentation, such a great change from the average lazy travel content maker who just wanders around taking a continuous selfie video expecting or hoping to get enough views to pay for their holidays and adventures, you have obviously put a lot of work into production even using a very good camera person to capture the correct perspective for the viewers while you present and narrate, very well done.

Thank you for the introduction to the subject. I am thankful that I have the chance to visit the area by viewing your video. I hope that wisdom will be a product of a gentler version of tourism that helps to preserve these cultures and locations.
What a wonderful video! I was an off grid solar contractor in Santa Barbara and I got hired many times to go down to Tulum to do solar for the small resorts on the beach. I had a lot of really good times down there.
My wife is from Mexico and wonderful people. Love your video on RUclips and may God Richly Bless you and may Jesus Christ show you His GREAT love that He has for each of YOU ❤️ Just ask Him to show you personally His Love as He did to me years ago 😊
I really appreciate your efforts in making a great video and striving to get as authentic a view as possible for us. Your work is exceptional. However, I would like to say that a video or recording of a sacred "ceremony" from a "native" culture is a tourist trap plain and simple. But, I still would have gone to see it just the same! Keep up the great work on all of your trips across the globe. You're the real deal Malini. Thank you!
One of the most beautiful places in the world! Jungle , Pyramids, White sand beaches!! The Best Vacation ever! Truly a magical place! We stayed near Tulum .
Great video Malini, I traveled to Tulum over 14 years ago, when all of Tulum wss still a hidden gem. This video is so necessary for multiple reasons. Awesome doc.
I have been there many times with a beautiful part of Mexico and the people. There are so nice. I love the culture the beaches and even the jungle is absolutely amazing. Can’t wait to get back.
This is a part ofy culture with Azteca natives Were all truly always have a genuine connection to the roots we God's creation coming to this lifetime of paradise The part is yet come the new earth And new heaven Awesome!!

I am visiting Tulum soon. Last year in Playa Del Carmen i booked a $999 mx tour by bus to see chitzen itza including lunch buffet with a similar mayan ritual welcome ceremony. Thank you for your video.
I visited Tulum in 2008, I stayed in a cabaña by the beach and early one morning a truck load of Mayans arrived, they had arrived to greet the sunrise. I joined them in a game of football, such friendly people. I swam in the cenotes and also visited Cobá where there are many Mayan temples.
Wow! Stumbled on this video doing research for a class on American Indian Spirituality and will be citing this. Thank you for your storytelling style and showcasing the local community and experiences.
Malini, this is an amazing documentary. I love how you focused on the essence of Mayan culture. Very pure journey. I will be exploring more of your journeys. Thank you and your team!
This video is made very well. It felt like I was right there in Telum. I really enjoyed seeing the sights and culture. Very interesting and relaxing video on a beautiful location.
I was there when they first discovered mu yil it was still covered in trees. They were trying to clear it out and we were the only ones there and those raccoon looking creatures are so nice they run through the resorts. It’s amazing very glad you got a chance to see it when we were there, we were allowed to climb on the ruins, and sat under the old thatched roofs and things like that it was amazing
I stayed in a bungalow on the beach for $5 per night in 1993. BTW.... Mayans are not going to sell their authentic ceremonies. That 'ceremony' was staged for tourists, using a mixture of symbols, songs, and traditions from North, Central, and South American traditions (and a bit of new age). Regardless, it's still good to support local people and I'm sure the temazcal felt lovely.
Funny! I've been watching your videos here and there for the last year. Now that I'm in Mexico, you're posting videos here too!! You and your work are wonderful 🥰 Thank you for sharing 🤍
Got to know your channel from your 3-part EXCELLENT series about Menorca. You are one of the few vloggers who I like. Most just meander around a place without having a plan, and well-edited scripts to the point I avoid watching and saving them into my folders. Your videos are well-researched covering, not just buildings but gastronomy, artisanal products, and local business. Keep up the great work. Please do more videos in Spain. Love from Ottawa.
I love your video! I was just in Tulum for 7 days and stayed at an Airbnb that was close to Tulum Centro. We had a car but I rented ATV to get around easier. I plan on going back next year. I will use your recommended tour guides. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much for this fascinating doc of Tulum and ancient Mayan culture which share similar spiritual beliefs, mythological practices even cooking methods of the first ancient seafaring navigators settlers of the south pacific islands. When tourism is the only means of economic prosperity it also becomes the monkey on the backs of the local populace environment etc- glad you subtly icluded that at end of your wonderful narration.
Mexico is a beautiful country. You'll love Tulum Mexico. In addition to its archaeological beauty, Tulum is also popular for its beaches and powdery sand coastline, which stretches 10 miles to the UNESCO World Heritage Site Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve. Greetings from Fort Worth, Texas...
Thank you for a non-touristic tour of Tulum: For INTEGRATING with local people; fusing with the entire econatural life--trees, water, air and sea; and allowing the LIFE that breathes there to move you and become part of your being.
Great segment First time there was 2005 , still a sleepy town, talk of development . Glad you were able to experience it and not from a mega resort pool bar Cool channel!!🙂
I"ve been in Tulum for the first time the Beaches are Incredible Beautiful. So sad we didn't have enough time to explore and see how realy Locals live. I've also been to Cenote
I just went to Tulum and loved it! I definitely want to check out the experiences you mentioned the next time I go. Like you, I would like to avoid the touristy scene and try to experience the authentic local culture as much as possible.
@@nathanross1684Like I said, I just went to Tulum and loved it :) My group found a knowledgeable local guide that did a good job of showing us around without getting too swept up in the tourist scene. Different strokes for different folks though.

I was in Tulum and I had a guide with more time I would of def loved to have experienced the more spiritual side to the connection we have to Cancun\Tulum. We must understand that in order for us to incorporate it into our being we have to Synch in with the Earth and its connection to our spirits and align.
First time I went to Tulum was about 20 years ago. It was authentic back then. I would go over to Cozumel to scuba dive. Unfortunately, big businesses and tourists have ruined the ambiance. Now I prefer some of the Japanese islands. What a beautiful and intelligent girl you are! Safe travels. Much love and light to you.
Sounds like what happened to Negril Jamaica. It was once a small fishing village until the resorts moved in. On the plus side there's a law that says no buildings can be taller than the palm trees. The Wife and I were lucky enough to visit Negril in the early days before it was taken over by the resorts. We cant stand the all inclusive places where they discourage people from exploring and claim it's to dangerous for tourist which is true to a certain extent but the Wife and I have some friends there and we go into the bush with them to see the real Jamaica.
This woman is what a true traveler is all about, not afraid, or intimidated by the cultures and rituals... To the point of entombing herself with ashes in the pitch darkness or swimming in the bowels of dark waters of the underworld... She has the kind courage that very few have... And her natural beauty, is as intoxicating as all the Maya drinks combined. Therefore I subscribed!
The production reminds me of older PBS travel shows like Globe Trekkers, mixed with various Anthony Bourdain series. There is something nostalgic and familiar that really hits home for me, great work, can't wait for more!
I was trying to remember that show. Globe Trekkers! That show sparked my wanderlust.

You are right man, thanks to point that out. Eso es todo compita somos los mismos 🤠 yo soy huasteco 🫡
nomás la envolvieron con puras mentiras vestiditos de blanco hahahah pa cobbrarle chidooo.. puras patrañas!
this is why I avoid guides and tours
What tribe are you from?
any recommendations of books to learn about Authentic Aztec and/or Mayan culture from Aztec/Mayan authors?
My wife and I stayed in Tulum for 3 amazing weeks back in '96. We rented a palapa on the beach in Don Armando's and the Santa Fe campgrounds. We were back packing around Mexico but with a car, 11 weeks to circumnavigate the whole coast of the country. If I'd known then what I know now we would have spent the whole 11 weeks right there. We snorkeled all day, lazed on the beach, and drove into town at night to eat at the many roadside restaurants and eateries. It was one of the most relaxing times of my life.
don armando and santa fe were destroyed by hurracaine, they didnt continue. Santa Fe after many years of abandon , start a trendy ecologic resort in 2023.

Stayed at Santa Fe and next door at El Mirador. Great memories
Visited Tulum in 1977. The ruins were completely open and free….no other people there that day Beautiful quiet place. Not so much anymore
Awesome man, that is so cool!

Thank you. Nice video. Great information. Good quality cinematography and beautiful host!
wow, is awesome this video, the narrative and edition are perfect, welcome to Mexico.
What a refreshing depiction especially on The Essence of The Mayan cultural aspects. That's how you make a presentation!💫💯🙏
Malini, this is an amazing documentary. I love how you focused on the essence of Mayan culture. Very pure journey. I will be exploring more of your journeys. Thank you and your team!
This video is made very well. It felt like I was right there in Telum. I really enjoyed seeing the sights and culture. Very interesting and relaxing video on a beautiful location.
We just got back from a 5 day Tulum vacation.. we loved every second of it
Awesome video! I’m glad to see foreign like you enjoying our pure culture. Muchas gracias por este hermoso video ❤
What a beautiful video you made Malini! This area has a lot to offer besides getting intoxicated in the mega resorts!
This video was really professionally done. Quite interesting.
Thanks!
Very nice presentation of Tulum .. I lived the hidden side of tulum for almost two years and loved every bit of it. well done
So nice isn’t it!
this is an amazing video! thank you so much!!!
I was there when they first discovered mu yil it was still covered in trees. They were trying to clear it out and we were the only ones there and those raccoon looking creatures are so nice they run through the resorts. It’s amazing very glad you got a chance to see it when we were there, we were allowed to climb on the ruins, and sat under the old thatched roofs and things like that it was amazing
Muyil was very calm and relaxed we really enjoyed this part of Tulum!
I loved Tulum, and the cave diving. Beautiful and unique. "Where the sky is born", what an awesome name!
Great history lesson. Not the typical tourist view of Talum
Glad you liked it!
Stunning 💫
Great work!
Thank you! Cheers!
I stayed in a bungalow on the beach for $5 per night in 1993.
BTW.... Mayans are not going to sell their authentic ceremonies. That 'ceremony' was staged for tourists, using a mixture of symbols, songs, and traditions from North, Central, and South American traditions (and a bit of new age). Regardless, it's still good to support local people and I'm sure the temazcal felt lovely.
Funny! I've been watching your videos here and there for the last year. Now that I'm in Mexico, you're posting videos here too!!
You and your work are wonderful 🥰 Thank you for sharing 🤍
Awesome! Thank you!
Got to know your channel from your 3-part EXCELLENT series about Menorca. You are one of the few vloggers who I like. Most just meander around a place without having a plan, and well-edited scripts to the point I avoid watching and saving them into my folders. Your videos are well-researched covering, not just buildings but gastronomy, artisanal products, and local business. Keep up the great work. Please do more videos in Spain. Love from Ottawa.
Thanks for your lovely comment! We are actually heading to Spain in a few days so stay tuned for those videos in
the near future 😊🙏
@@Malini.Angelica I look forward to that.
Gracias por recordarnos lo bello que es México....
I was in the Riviera Maya less than a month ago. I want to come back and explore these hidden sides!
You should!
Thank you for showing the old traditions of the mayans. I have seen a lot of Mayan sites, but not their authentic culture. Thank you.
I love your video! I was just in Tulum for 7 days and stayed at an Airbnb that was close to Tulum Centro. We had a car but I rented ATV to get around easier. I plan on going back next year. I will use your recommended tour guides. Thank you for sharing.
I have a condo if you are interested!
@@gladlock I plan on going back in May. Do you have WhatsApp?
WARNING!!!! Where will you go when you die? Heaven or Hell??? We can not hide our sins from GOD. Repent and accept Jesus as you Lord and Savior before it is too late. Jesus loves us and He can forgive us of any sins that we have committed. HELL IS REAL!!!! THE LAKE OF FIRE IS REAL!!!! MATTHEW 3:2 REPENT, FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND.!!!!
Well done , girl you have a natural talent for this .
This is a great way to experience ancient Maya culture. Gracias!
Thank you so very much for planning our next trip to Mexico!
Wow love the production quality of this video. Thanks for diving deep into Mayan culture. Loooking forward to my trip to Tulum.
Thank you! I hope you have an amazing time 😊
Thank you so much for this fascinating doc of Tulum and ancient Mayan culture which share similar spiritual beliefs, mythological practices even cooking methods of the first ancient seafaring navigators settlers of the south pacific islands. When tourism is the only means of economic prosperity it also becomes the monkey on the backs of the local populace environment etc- glad you subtly icluded that at end of your wonderful narration.
Mexico is a beautiful country. You'll love Tulum Mexico. In addition to its archaeological beauty, Tulum is also popular for its beaches and powdery sand coastline, which stretches 10 miles to the UNESCO World Heritage Site Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve. Greetings from Fort Worth, Texas...
Thank you for taking us thru the road less travelled! 🙏🏼
Thank you for a non-touristic tour of Tulum: For INTEGRATING with local people; fusing with the entire econatural life--trees, water, air and sea; and allowing the LIFE that breathes there to move you and become part of your being.
Great segment
First time there was 2005 , still a sleepy town, talk of development . Glad you were able to experience it and not from a mega resort pool bar
Cool channel!!🙂
great documentary on Tulum. Beautiful and ancent city ( outskirts and beyond )
Thank you for the very informative video. We have visited Tulum main ruins once and Coba but would love to explore more of the Mayan culture.
Our pleasure!
I"ve been in Tulum for the first time the Beaches are Incredible Beautiful. So sad we didn't have enough time to explore and see how realy Locals live. I've also been to Cenote
my god that place it is so beautiful and magical 😍. Your channel have so much quality .
Que bueno que muestren la gastronomía que existe ahí 😅
Un lugar muy bonito y sus pintadas en las paredes 😊 son interesantes
Absolutely love her accent. Great video!
I just went to Tulum and loved it! I definitely want to check out the experiences you mentioned the next time I go. Like you, I would like to avoid the touristy scene and try to experience the authentic local culture as much as possible.
Then dont go to tulum. Bad city if you want a non turist exp
@@nathanross1684Like I said, I just went to Tulum and loved it :) My group found a knowledgeable local guide that did a good job of showing us around without getting too swept up in the tourist scene. Different strokes for different folks though.

I was in Tulum and I had a guide with more time I would of def loved to have experienced the more spiritual side to the connection we have to Cancun\Tulum. We must understand that in order for us to incorporate it into our being we have to Synch in with the Earth and its connection to our spirits and align.
beautiful video! Very informative and inspiring for future vistors. Thank you!
You got me! Excellent work!
I spent some time there a while back. Really enjoyed it & would definitely go back. Especially loved the cenotes. I regret not visiting Sian Ka’an.
Glad you enjoyed it!
First time I went to Tulum was about 20 years ago. It was authentic back then. I would go over to Cozumel to scuba dive. Unfortunately, big businesses and tourists have ruined the ambiance. Now I prefer some of the Japanese islands. What a beautiful and intelligent girl you are! Safe travels. Much love and light to you.
Thanks for the great video awesome job.
Great documentary! You should have tv show! Your voice is very soothing!
Lived in Tulum Centro for six months. Paradise.
Que lugar tan paradisiaco y tranquilo lleno de hermosos animales y paz
Sounds like what happened to Negril Jamaica.
It was once a small fishing village until the resorts moved in.
On the plus side there's a law that says no buildings can be taller than the palm trees.
The Wife and I were lucky enough to visit Negril in the early days before it was taken over by the resorts.
We cant stand the all inclusive places where they discourage people from exploring and claim it's to dangerous for tourist which is true to a certain extent but the Wife and I have some friends there and we go into the bush with them to see the real Jamaica.
This woman is what a true traveler is all about, not afraid, or intimidated by the cultures and rituals... To the point of entombing herself with ashes in the pitch darkness or swimming in the bowels of dark waters of the underworld... She has the kind courage that very few have... And her natural beauty, is as intoxicating as all the Maya drinks combined. Therefore I subscribed!
@Dk Ditto on that!!
Best video yet. So glad to see another side to Tulum
Thank you Jan, there is a very authentic side to Tulum and you just need to know where to look 😊
