Tulum Tour
Location: State of Quintana Roo, 132 Km to the south of Cancun.
Tulum's greatest attraction is its location. It stands on a bluff facing the rising sun, commanding views of the Caribbean that are nothing less than SPECTACULAR.
In Maya, Tulum means "wall". It's a walled city and one of the very few the ancients ever built.
The plaza at the center of the city, probably once used for rituals or ceremonies, is flanked by the so-called Castillo "Castle" to the west. The Castillo is the largest building in Tulum and the most famous too.
It stands on that above-mentioned bluff, commanding a view of miles in both directions. The Temple of the Descending God is another interesting structure. On the facade is a figure sculpted head down, and the walls inside show traces of the original pigments applied by the Maya. The earliest date found in Tulum came from a stela in the inner sanctum -564 A.D. 
Services: Lodging, souvenirs stores, parking, guides, restaurants.
