Tulum

Tulum is located in the state of Quintna Roo to the southwest of Mexico. The incomparable location is built above a cliff that faces to the Carribean Sea, this suggests that years ago it was used to protect the Maya marine routes.
Many of the representations of the monuments refer to the decending God although only one temple built for this deity can be found. Some of the major structures are The Castle, The Temple of the Decending God, House of the Columns, Temple of Frescoes, amog others.
Is one of the most amazing Maya ruins you can find in the Yucatan Peninsula.
Tulum is surrouded by a huge stone wall, its height is regular since it follows the land contours and its rectangular shape with only three sides. This city was also known as Zama because of being in one of the places were dawn first breaks in the country.
Its proximity to modern tourism developmets along the Mexican Carribean coastline has made it a popular destination for tourists. Daily tour buses take a stream of visitors to the site. It is the third most visited archaelogical site in Mexico after Teotihuacan and Chichen Itza.

I think Tulum is one hell of a place to go to!, The water, the beach, hotels strategic location, the tow itself, and of course the ruins, they all combine into a great package of interests that a tourist could be interested in, and it is really a paradisiacal location, I actually love it!.
