ZONA ARQUEOLOGICA DE TULUM Monday, January 24, 2005.
Hans and I took local buses to TULUM. After making a stop in Play Del Carmen, it was another 39 miles, or 63 Km south.
Tulum is Mayan for "WALL" and dates to the period A.D. 900. The seaside archeological site of Tulum was once known as the "City of the Dawn". It is the only Mayan port city ever discovered and features more than 60 well-preserved buildings to explore, like the Castle, The Temple of the Wind God, Temple of the Descending God and Temple of the Frescoes God.
Also there is a wonderful beach "Papaya Playa" which many people were enjoying. |

Swine flu in Mexico is really sad- I feel sad for what's happening there now. But I never saw this descending God in Tulum - I have to check it our when I go back someday...Norman :) | yumyum Thu Apr 16, 2009 15:04 UTC

Fascinating ruins and enjoyable beach! What may be better to spend a holiday? El Castillo and Templo de Los Frescos are very attractive for excursion. Thanks Lori for the virtual tour! | Thailandfan Sat Aug 4, 2007 18:12 UTC
