圖盧姆是一座古老的瑪雅城市,坐落在墨西哥尤卡坦半島東海岸俯瞰加勒比海的懸崖上。它位於坎昆以南約130公里處,金塔納羅奧州普拉亞德爾卡門以南約60公里處。圖盧姆是瑪雅文明建造的最後幾座城市之一,如今其遺址被認為是保存最完好的沿海瑪雅遺址之一。
除了考古遺址,圖盧姆還擁有許多天坑(cenote),即部分暴露於大氣中的地下洞穴系統的一部分。這種相互連結的洞穴系統通常充滿鹹淡水(淡水和鹹海水的混合),由石灰岩基岩構成。當石灰岩基岩因洞穴結構薄弱而坍塌時,便會形成落水洞,使洞穴暴露於大氣中,從而形成天坑。流入天坑的淡水來自過濾後的雨水,其中懸浮顆粒物極少。這使得天坑擁有極佳的能見度,這也是天坑成為熱門潛水目的地的原因之一。
如果您對天然井潛水不感興趣,圖盧姆地區眾多的潛水商店和度假村提供岸潛以及前往沉船和放流潛水點的船潛之旅。在這些加勒比海潛點,潛水員有機會看到各種海龜、熱帶魚,以及(冬季)鯊魚。由於圖盧姆靠近許多內陸和近海潛水點,船宿潛水船並不常見。與當地潛水商店和度假村的專家一起潛水,絕對是您充分體驗圖盧姆潛水之旅的最佳方式!
圖盧姆以南是錫安卡安生物圈保護區,這是一片受保護的陸地和海洋區域(包括瑪雅遺址和部分中美洲堡礁),已被聯合國教科文組織列為世界遺產。該保護區的主要目標是開展保育計畫並監測其內各種生態系統的健康狀況。雖然保護區的大部分海洋區域不對遊客開放,但一些當地潛水店擁有在堡礁這片受保護區域潛水的許可證。
