Tulum Tours and Vacations
May 2009
Tulum is the closet Mayan ruin to Cancun. The “walled” fortress was built in the dying days of the Mayan Empire. Tulum was strategically built and is harbored in the beautiful turquoise water of the Rivera Maya. In less than two hours from Cancun you'll be enjoying this truly enchanting place for relaxation and fun. Come for the day and enjoy the ruins, the beaches and make sure to bring your bathing suit. There are three major structures in Tulum. El Castillo, the largest, overlooks the coast to the azure water of the Caribbean. One of the last structures built in Tulum before the arrival of Hernan Cortez in mid 1400's is the Temple of Frescoes. It is two story building with colorful murals on inner walls. Last of the major structures is the Temple of the Descending God which depicts a divining figure (looks like a bee). This temple, typical of many other Mayan archaeologically sites, looks very similar to Chichen Itza.
