About Tulum

Tulum: ruinas mayas sobre el acantilado frente a un mar turquesa, playas blancas, cenotes en la selva y un pueblo bohemio y relajado.

Las ruinas de Tulum, un puerto maya amurallado, se alzan sobre un acantilado calizo sobre el Caribe, con El Castillo dominando una pequeña cala de arena blanca. El entorno es uno de los más fotografiados de México, y el sitio está en su mejor momento a primera hora de la mañana, antes de que suba el calor.
