Mayan Riviera’s Best Mayan Ruins!
Hundreds of thousands of Mayans occupied much of the southern coast of the Yucatan peninsula (now called the Mayan Riviera) for hundreds of years until they disappeared in the 15th and 16th centuries. Descendants still can be found and ruins of their villages abound in this area. Many of the ruins are in excellent condition and well worth seeing.
Tulum & Xel-Ha All Inclusive
Discover one of the most beautiful archeological sites of the Riviera Maya, the only one overlooking the Caribbean Sea and its turquoise waters as a walled fortress. It is believed that Tulum was once, one of the main ports of the Maya civilization. Let yourself be taken into the temple of the frescoes, the one of the descending god and “El Castillo” an amazing temple built on a cliff with splendid views of the coast.
Tulum Mayan Ruins
About an hour south of Playa del Carmen is Tulum. Tulum is famous for the expansive ruins that sit on a bluff overlooking the Gulf waters as well as beautiful beaches. 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.
