Quintana Roo Names Tulum's Gastronomy a State Heritage

On August 28, Quintana Roo officially named Tulum's gastronomy a state heritage, establishing the Día Estatal de la Gastronomía Quintanarroense. This recognition extends beyond just restaurants to include the milpa, markets, and fishing communities, protecting traditional practices and recipes.

The state culture institute has 30 working days to register the declaration, with responsibilities assigned to the Instituto de la Cultura y las Artes, Sedetur, and the state education secretariat. This initiative aims to preserve and educate future generations about Tulum's culinary heritage.

With this declaration, Tulum now joins the MICHELIN Guide recipients and becomes an official part of Quintana Roo's state heritage, setting a new standard for culinary preservation in the region.

For expats and digital nomads living in or visiting Tulum, this declaration means that the milpa, markets, and fishing communities are now officially recognized as part of the state's gastronomic heritage. This recognition not only preserves traditional practices but also provides a sense of pride and identity for these communities.
