Tulum Ruins + Adventure Tour

You’ll stop and gasp in awe the minute you see the breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea from the cliffs of the Tulum ruins! Every photo requires zero filters. Walk through over 1,500 years of history these ruins and one of the few enclosed cities built by the Mayas. Tulum, which means “wall” in Mayan, is an ancient trading post with walls on three sides and the fourth side, a 12-meter cliff overlooking the Caribbean Sea! Tulum was built to be a fortress and first settled in the 6th century. Tulum prospered under Mayapán influence in the 13th century and thus making it an important trading center for goods such as cotton, foodstuffs, copper bells, axes, and cacao beans.

​

As you stroll through the manicured paths of the complex you will eventually find yourself looking out over the cliff at the crystal blue waters of the Caribbean. (Depending on Covid restrictions this may not be allowed, but if open, you can actually take the stairs down from the cliff that leads you to the beach area below where you can dip your toes into the water. Again subject to availability). The Tulum ruins is not only on of the more picturesque archeological sites, but it can also be seen in about an hour. Your private guide will also give you a tour but take your time for selfies, breathtaking photos, and to breathe in the salty ocean air.
