Tulum Pre-Hispanic legacy

The top attraction in the area is the Pre-Hispanic vestiges of Tulum. This astounding archaeological zone is the only city built facing the Caribbean Sea, besides being surrounded by a stone wall on three of its sides.

As a key point in the Pre-Hispanic merchant route that allowed commerce between settlements in the Gulf of Mexico in the nowadays state of Tabasco to Central America, Tulum was built in a mangrove field that prevents an attack. The reef on the coastline made it almost inaccessible except from one narrow passage that only a few sailors knew.

The main pyramid is atop of a cliff, and it is the most photographed place in the whole Riviera Maya. The next time you take a Tulum tour , make sure you get one at this majestic site.

Close to Tulum town is Cobá, an astounding pre-Columbian city famous for having the tallest pyramid in Quintana Roo that you climb to the top and have a great view of the surrounding jungle. Walk or ride a bicycle along the ancient roads called sac-bé, which connect to distant place such as Yaxuná, near Chichén Itzá.
