Witness the cultural and natural richness surrounding the enigmatic ruins of Tulum as you transport yourself to another time and place.
The Tulum Archaeological Site was crucial in Maya civilization during the Late Postclassic period, between the 13th and 15th centuries. This ancient walled city, known in its time as "Zama," meaning "dawn" in Mayan, is strategically located on a cliff overlooking the Caribbean coast, making it an important commercial and ceremonial center.
These ruins offer a fascinating glimpse into Maya architecture, with well-preserved temples and palaces that testify to the splendor of this ancient civilization. In addition to its significance as a religious and political center, it was an essential seaport for trading goods such as jade, obsidian, and quetzal feathers.
In the 16th century, the Spanish arrived in the region and conquered the Yucatán Peninsula, including Tulum. However, the city had lost much of its splendor by then and was eventually abandoned.
Today, the Tulum Archaeological Site is a living testament to the greatness of Maya culture. Its unique combination of history, architecture, and nature attracts visitors worldwide.
