Some attractions in the world are famous for their beautiful scenery, some for their long history, and some combine both scenery and history, allowing visitors to enjoy the beautiful views while learning about and exploring history. Tulum in Mexico is one of them.

Tulum is located on a 12-meter high cliff on the Yucatan Peninsula by the Caribbean Sea. It was the last city built and inhabited by the Mayans in the 14th century and served as a religious city during the late Mayan cultural period. The ruins are well preserved today. Visitors can admire ancient city walls, towers, and observatories. Most of the buildings in the city are stone-made temples, palaces, and column buildings. Although most roofs and beams have collapsed, some carvings and patterns are still clearly visible, providing valuable insight into the Mayan way of life. Facing the picturesque Caribbean Sea, Tulum is an ideal place to enjoy the beauty of the Caribbean Sea. Climbing to the top of the ancient city, visitors can overlook the entire Tulum ruins, and to the east, they can see the turbulent waves of the Caribbean Sea and the crystal clear blue and green waters.

Many tourists take a swim in the sea after visiting the Tulum ruins, immersing themselves in the waters of the Caribbean Sea, swimming in the clear blue waves, and even lying on the beach to sunbathe, truly experiencing the exotic charm.
