Ruins of Tulum

Perched on rugged cliffs with the turquoise sea at its doorstep, the ruins of Tulum tell the tale of a once-thriving center of trade, its strategic location providing easy access to land as well sea. Built like a fortress with walls protecting its three sides, this post-classical Mayan city may not be as grand as its counterparts but its inherent beauty is not one to be denied. Although inhabited as early as the 6th Century, the ruins are the remains of 13th-century structures born of an evolved understanding of design. A trading post for the Chichen Itza, Ek Balam and Cobá, Tulum was home to a modest population of only 1,600, with the stature of a mighty city-state that reached its peak in the 14th Century. Abandoned shortly after the Spaniards arrived, Tulum now stands as a reminder of times gone by, weathered by the salty spray of the Caribbean and whipped by the sea breeze. The ruins lie just 62 kilometers (100 miles) away from Playa del Carmen and 128 kilometers (80 miles) from Cancun.

Tulum National Park

This sprawling park features a plethora of attractions and is a picturesque space replete with breathtaking bounties of nature. Encompassing remnants of a historic Mayan settlement, Tulum National Park is stippled with scenic beaches, cenotes and wetlands among other enchanting spots, and makes for an exhilarating outdoor excursion. You can also admire the array of flora and fauna that call the park home.

Muyil

Muyil is one of the most beautiful places to visit in and around Tulum. Located at a short driving distance from the city, this site is seeped in history that dates back to 1000 years. It is considered to be one of the most ancient and longest surviving Mayan settlements that housed numerous residential buildings and religious centers. Muyil was a bustling trade center with a constant flow of goods including chocolates, copper, gold, cotton, salt, fish and the like. Untouched by human population for a long period, this place is thriving with mangroves, various varieties of plants and birds, different species of crocodiles, turtles and monkeys. A site less frequented by tourists, Muyil deserves a visit for the amazing combination of history and nature that it offers.

Laguna Kaan Luum

Dappled by the bright Tulum sun, Laguna Kaan Luum makes for a reinvigorating outdoor excursion owing to its refreshing environs. A defining feature of the eponymous nature preserve, this lagoon can be accessed through boardwalks which jut from the sandy shores of the area, extending over the gleaming turquoise waters.
