Itinerary

  1. El Castillo is an iconic structure with a buttress at the back that extends toward the cliff, offering a striking view. Though weathered by time and the elements, the stucco panels at the back of El Castillo still present an imposing sight, even in their diminished state.

    1 h

  2. The Temple of the Frescoes is one of Tulum’s most significant buildings. Perched above a fresh cenote, it was built in phases, with the original small structure now serving as the innermost room. Known for its detailed murals and carvings, the temple prominently features the Descending God, a symbol of Venus and war.

About Tulum

Tulum pairs clifftop Maya ruins above a turquoise sea with white beaches, jungle cenotes and a laid-back, bohemian town on the Riviera Maya.

The ruins of Tulum, a walled Maya port, stand on a limestone cliff above the Caribbean, with El Castillo overlooking a small cove of white sand. The setting is one of the most photographed in Mexico, and the site is at its loveliest early in the morning, before the heat builds.

Top-ranked sights in Tulum: Mayan Ruins of Coba (Zona Arqueológica de Cobá), Xel-Há, Muyil.
