Tulum ruins are one of the must-visit spots while you are here. But imagine seeing them from the sea. How cool is that.<\/p>\n
Tulum ruins are located to the south of Playa Del Carmen – 62km (you can get there for 30 mins from Playa). The most spectacular thing about the ruins is the view from there – they are facing the Caribbean sea to the west. Due to its strategic location Tulum was a major post for sea trade during 13th-14th century. Tulum, which means “wall” in the Maya language, was first built as a fortress – secured with a wall from 3 sides and the sea to the west. With time it grew to be the an important connection point between the Yucatan peninsula and the gulf of Mexico. Parts of the ancient walled city were also of great religious and ceremonial value.<\/p>\n
