Tulum was one of the last cities inhabited and built by the Mayas.

Tulum is one of the most picturesque archaeological sites in the Riviera Maya and the only one to have been built overlooking the ocean. Tulum offers a spectacular view of the Riviera Maya beaches, Caribbean Sea and surrounding coastal region.

Tulum, as documented, was an ancient Mayan fortress city that rose to power toward the end of the Classic period. The most iconic of its structures, the Castillo, is perched on the edge of a cliff overlooking the clear turquoise blue waters of the Caribbean. The cliff-top Castillo, with its beachfront location and lush green landscape, is the image most often associated with the Mayan Riviera.
