What is Escultura Ven a la Luz?
Made from wood, steel, rope, and natural fibers, the sculpture depicts a serene female figure opening her chest to reveal a interior filled with greenery. This powerful gesture symbolizes humanity’s deep connection with nature and invites viewers to reflect on their place within the natural world. Popper’s work emphasizes the importance of ecological awareness and the fragile beauty of Tulum’s coastal environment.
The Best Time to Visit
To capture the best photos, consider visiting just before sunset, when the sculpture is surrounded by warm, natural light. Keep in mind that during peak tourist seasons, there may be a short wait to take photos, and staff may enforce a time limit to accommodate all visitors.
Visiting the Sculpture
Located at the Ahau Tulum Hotel on Tulum’s beach road, the sculpture is part of an outdoor art space. Visitors can enter the sculpture park for a small fee—approximately 100MXN (5 USD) —and explore not only Ven a la Luz but also other thought-provoking installations. The park is open daily from 9 AM to 10 PM.
