Introduction
Tulum Ruins is the only Maya city built by the sea, perched on a limestone sea cliff above the Caribbean—uniquely scenic. Once a flourishing port and trade center, it now leaves temples, walls and pavilions, with red-and-blue water crashing below the cliff and ancient stone set against blue sky and sea—breathtaking. Tulum is both a window into Maya maritime trade and one of Mexico's most photogenic ruins. Walk with respect and feel the glory of this seaside city.
