Mexico is a top vacation spot and there is no doubt why. It is an amazing place that is not just somewhere to catch some sun on the sandy beaches. There are some great hot spots, like Tulum, that let you combine the historic sites and the great beaches for one unforgettable vacation.
Tulum is a town that features a great archeological site and a lovely beach coastline. It is located just south of Playa del Carmen and Akumal. Tulum is located on limestone cliffs that overlook the waters of the Caribbean.
Tulum is a nice mix of history and the beaches Mexico is well known for. You will get to experience both of them right in the same area where you can focus on having a good time instead of traveling about the country to see all the different types of sites.
History is important in Tulum. The archeological site here was built between 1200 and 1450. It is clouded in mystery, as are all Mayan ruins.
It was a trading post due to its location off the water. The city’s skyscraper El Castillo is used as a lighthouse to help and direct travelers through the reefs.
The wall surrounded the city in all the three sides this scenario was unique. This wall is seven meters thick and up to five meters tall. The wall has a walkway that was used by warriors in their defense of the city. The remaining side of the city is protected by the sea.
Now, sixty buildings are still at the scene, those are all open for visitors. There are information panels on the walls to help visitors on their self-guided tour of the site.
There are excellent beaches in Tulum, just as you would hope for a visit to Mexico’s coast. They are among the world’s top scenic beaches, and tourists travel from all accross the globe to see them.
The beaches contain a gorgeous shade of white sand and the water is a perfect blue. The waters welcome kayakers, divers, and fishers.
The reef at Tulum, the Great Mayan Reef, goes from Cancun, Mexico to Roatan, Honduras making it the second largest in the world. It is 1000 kilometers with 120 kilometers at the Tulum beach.
The waters off the beach offer a chance to see 84 different types of coral and over 450 types of fish and other sea creatures. It is a true adventure.
I can guarantee you that Tulum is one of the most special places on earth. This area is unforgettable since there are so many nice things to do when you visit.
