Aldea Zama is in Tulum, Mexico, which is the epicenter of the Mayan Riviera, two hours south of Cancun and an hour south of Playa del Carmen.

Tulum continues to be the most visited archeological site in the state of Quintana Roo, with a total of 992,964 visitors in 2010, followed by the archeological sites of Coba and San Gervasio (Cozumel).

For decades, Tulum has been the epitome of Caribbean living for both backpackers and bohemians alike. An array of activities and attractions entice pleasur seekers from all over the world, such as kite surfing, windsurfing, snorkeling, scuba diving, parasailing, as well as land and water excursions. Nearby caves and cenotes (freshwater sinkholes) nestled in the jungle offer a refreshing alternative to those looking to wander away from the lazy beaches and their cabanas; yoga centers and alternative therapeutic treatments such as Temazcal are also commonplace in Tulum.

Local and international cuisine are available in a variety of unique eateries, as well as an eclectic mix of stores and boutiques offering mementos that embody the heart of Mexico.

The region has an excellent climate, with an average annual temperature of 25.5 degrees C (78 F.) Offshore water temperature is about 80 F(27 c) and cenote water temperature for snorkeling or diving is 24 °C (76 ° F)
