Work in progress - June 2023
This month we are excited to unveil our continued progress within our community. As new residents receive their bespoke homes, we finalize details on surrounding amenities and green areas, ensuring that every element harmonizes with our intentional designs. Using dynamic creative processes we supervise daily advances, optimizing lighting, pathways, vegetations, and decor to create stunning results. As we enter the rainy season we make sure to take advantage of the local climate to test irrigation and site levels as well as waterproofing in all construction areas.
Its summertime in Tulum! As we work through the extreme heat and tropical rains we take extra care to provide hydration and mandatory breaks to all of our workers onsite. We are thankful to finally open access to our stunning central semi-olympic pool. With over a dozen units delivered to investors, it brings us great joy to see our unique amenities and come to life with the presence of our newly forming community.
This month we have begun even more artistic interventions with the addition of the unique sculptures of Bacalar-based artist Abraham Illescas. His massive rock and wooden installations and add to Aflora's playful ambience and inspire our sense of wonder and imagination.

We received positive news this month regarding rehabilitation efforts for sea turtles, for the first time in 36 years of conservation, a leatherback has been seen laying eggs on the Tulum municipal beach.
The discovery was made within the state preserve of Xcacel-Xcacelito Sea Turtle Sanctuary, where a total of 54,214 white/green turtle nests and 9,030 loggerhead turtle nests have been recorded from 1996 to 2022. In addition, a total of of 4,770,850 white/green turtles and 711,891 loggerhead turtle hatchlings have been located.
The leatherback sea turtle is the largest in the world weighing between 249 and 907 kilos and growing up to 1.8 meters in length.
Community News
Tulum received official approval of 11 million pesos dedicated to the paving and improvement of municipal roads. With our city-grid expanding faster than urbanization efforts can keep up with, this will bring a much-needed modernization to Tulum's image and mobility. This month Tulum also successfully settled all outstanding municipal debts totaling nearly 70 million pesos and dating back to 2015.
This positive news coincides with a significant drop in violent crime thanks to increased coordinated efforts between National Guard, National Defense and Navy as well as the State Attorney General’s Office, Public Security of Tulum and the state, to ensure peace in the municipality.
