Undoubtedly, Tulum is the most representative archaeological site of the Maya Culture in the State of Quintana Roo and you have to include in your itinerary a visit to this beautiful place. Although most of the visitors go to Tulum for its wonderful beach area, but its vestiges and structures are very important in the Maya Culture history. The site is located on 12 meters (39 ft) cliffs, along the east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula and it´s one of the best-preserved coastal Maya sites.
Tulum was protected on one side by steep sea cliffs and on the landward side by a wall that averaged about three to 5 meters (16 ft) in height. The wall also was about 8 meters (26 ft) thick and 400 meters (1,300 ft) long on the side parallel to the sea. The part of the wall that ran the width of the site was slightly shorter and only about 170 meters (560 ft) on both sides. This massive wall would have taken an enormous amount of energy and time, which shows how important defense was to the Maya when they constructed the site here.
The Tulum archaeological site is the third most-visited in Mexico, after Teotihuacan in the State of Mexico and Chichen Itza in the State of Yucatan. Go to Tulum is the best options for a half day tour, where you will appreciate the blue turquoise of the Mexican Caribbean Sea, combined with a mystical & cultural tour.
