What is it actually like to live in Aldea Zama, Tulum?

In this video, Jessi and I drive through Aldea Zama and show you what one of Tulum's most developed neighborhoods actually looks like — from its residential streets and commercial areas to its location between Tulum Centro and the beach.

We also talk about some of the real trade-offs of living here: apartment prices, getting around without public transportation, taxis, having a car, utilities, restaurants, development and how Aldea Zama compares with areas like La Veleta.

We’ll show you:

• Where Aldea Zama is located  
• How it connects Tulum Centro with the beach area  
• Residential and commercial areas  
• What the streets and development actually look like  
• Aldea Zama vs. La Veleta  
• Transportation and why having a car can help  
• The Saturday local market  
• Ongoing construction and development  
• How much jungle and vegetation has been preserved

If you're thinking about visiting, staying long-term, relocating to Tulum, or you're simply curious about what everyday life looks like here, hopefully this gives you a much better feel for the neighborhood.

We made this video because people in the comments asked us to show Aldea Zama — so tell us below:
