At architect Roth's Azulik project in Tulum, Mexico

Tulum IV: Sushi in a Treehouse

We want to eat Japanese and end up in a large treehouse-jungle complex: the Azulik project by architect Roth. To be able to eat sushi, we first have to take an adventurous hike through the night—over stone and wooden paths, stairs, and a suspension bridge.

El Castillo, the castle of the ancient Maya city of Tulum, stands on a cliff overlooking the sea.

Tulum II: Mayan Ruins by the Sea

We visit the Mayan city of Tulum, which was once an important trading center. It is the only Mayan city located by the sea and the only one surrounded by a wall on three sides.

Tulum I: Brown algae on the beach

Brown algae, known as Sargassum, are piling up on the beach in Tulum. This is a result of overfertilization, rainforest destruction, and rising water temperatures. The stuff, which stinks like rotten eggs, keeps us from swimming in the ocean. The only alternative is the hotel swimming pool.
