Kukulkan - FELIX EISENMEIER personal work takes you to Tulum, Mexico

This series was taken in the city of Tulum in the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico. Many know this place as a touristic destination of mainly US citizens. The city grows at an enormous speed without suitable infrastructure. Streets are being cut through the forests - the spaces between are cut down for eco-chic apartment-blocks. Life goes on and locals adapt their lifestyle.

The name Kukulkan is based on the mayan god of the winds and is a link to the "wind of change" that Tulum is going through.

My aim was to point out the contrast between the new, modern and touristic parts and the mostly poor and simple locals and indigenous people. Besides that it was important to me, to show the bold colors of Mexico in all of the images and to have a main focus on the composition.I recommend listening to latin sounds while enjoying the series to really dive in." Felix Eisenmeier, Fotograf

Tulum was a Mayan site. Due to increasing tourism, many Americans and Europeans have settled here since the 1970s alongside Mexicans from all parts of the country. They mostly run hotels, restaurants and handicraft businesses. Due to the economic development of recent history, Tulum has experienced rapid growth in importance, so that the city has been the center of the newly founded administrative district of the same name (Municipio Tulum) since 2008.

In December 2023, the new Tulum Airport was opened, which is located around 20 km west of the city. It offers both national and international flight connections.
