Mayan ruins at the door

Not far from the city centre, visitors to Tulum can also admire the unique Mayan ruins, which are situated directly on the sea. In addition to the famous “Temple of the Winds” (Templo del Dios del Viento), “Rising down God’s Temple” (El Castillo) and the “Temple of the frescos” (Templo de los fresco), there are many other ruins to admire, not only because of their history but because they are very interesting. Their location also makes it unbeatable, and visitors have opportunities to take breathtaking photos that they will never forget. It is advisable to visit the ruins early in the morning as in the afternoon, often large groups of tourists from Cancun about 130 kilometers away, visit the ruins in crowds.
