Tulum Mayan Ruins

Location: 50 min S of Playa del Carmen, Tulum

More than 2 million people visit this site annually, making it the most popular Mayan ruins on the Yucatan Peninsula. Many Mayan ruins are located deep in the jungle, but Tulum is situated next to the sea, making the site especially beautiful. There are about 60 structures including the Temple of the Frescoes and El Castillo (the Castle), two of the most interesting buildings. Guides are available at the entrance to Tulum, but the most important buildings have placards with information in English, Spanish and Mayan. It takes about two hours to tour the ruins, but visitors might want to bring a picnic lunch and swimsuit and make a day of it. Additional fee to use video camera. Children under 13 are free.

Xel-Ha

Today, visitors will still experience transcendence as the landscape, lagoons, and coves mix to form a natural masterpiece for your senses. The lagoon forms Mexico’s largest natural aquarium, and snorkeling is a main activity due to the lagoon’s warm waters and multihued fish. The ruins of the temples are also noteworthy, especially since they seem to blend into the forest as if they arose from the forest floor at the beginning of time. Xel Ha is great for the entire family and there are several shops and restaurants nearby that enable you to make a day of your adventure.

Coba

About an hour south of Playa is a city discovered in 1842, but excavation only started in 1969, and just 5% has been unearthed. You’ll see hills on what is otherwise flat land. The hills are unexcavated Mayan structures. This site is very natural and you never forget that you’re in the jungle. Trees are growing out of the temples (very much like Indiana Jones movies). Coba is twice the size of Chich Itza and has thousands of structures.

Tulum Beach and Gran Cenote

About an hour south of Playa del Carmen is Tulum. It’s known for the ruins on a cliff overlooking the gulf. A bit past the ruins are the Gran Cenote on one side and Tulum beach on the other side.

The Gran Cenote is quite large and there are several points on the property where you can jump in (water is cold!) Cenotes, underground rivers, were created years ago, some say from a meteor that crashed in Mexico. There will be large openings for a while and then the river is underground, but you can swim it or tube through the underground portions. The water is clear and in many of the cave areas you will see bats flying around.

The Tulum Beach is quaint and rustic. Electricity is spotty so there’s no air conditioning, no large hotels, internet etc. If you are looking to really get away from it all, this is the spot. It’s very beautiful.
