 Tulum - Ruins (2004) by Kaspian
The beach area inside the walls is where Maya ships and canoes used to come ashore when the fortress acted as a seaport. The primary god here was the diving/descending god.
The architecture and designs are not as impressive or intricate as those at Chichen Itza, less strong materials and somewhat crude designs, but Tulum is definitely worth the visit if you're in the area. They say Tulum's the most visited of the Mayan ruins, but I don't believe them. There's always been more people at Chichen Itza from what I've seen.
The admission was only about $5 USD.
There are guides available on site if you want to pay for that. The washrooms (which used to be pay bathrooms) are now free.
You will probably save about $60 USD per person by doing his trip on your own with coach buses instead of through a tour from your Cancun hotel. (It's not a full day excursion, like Chichen Itza.) Leave a Comment Directions: Turn left at the Tulum ruins access road at the junction (before you get to the village of Tulum) on Highway 307. There is a new bus stop there, a gas station and several small restaurants. The ruins are about 2 km in through the access road.Website: http://www.info-tulum.com

...And I don't mean that tiny little thing at the Tulum Ruins. I mean the real deal, 7 kms of white sand as fine as icing sugar that sticks to your skin and neon-blue water so clear and clean it tastes almost as sweet as it does salty on your lips. Hands-down the nicest beach I've ever hung out on. This is a must see! Thinking back later about the Tulum beach will bring tears to your eyes.
Walk down the coastal road beside the ruins about 20 minutes until you come to the entrances to the cabana beach properties on the left, "El Mirador" is one of the first ones you'll see. Descend to the beach from here and admire the great view from atop. You can access the beach by walking through any of the cabana places.
If you visit the ruins and don't go that extra one kilometre to see this, you will have missed the real Tulum.
Bonus Tip: "Diamante K", the fourth set of cabanas, was the Mexican "pit-stop" on the first season of "the Amazing Race". Leave a Comment Address: Boca Paila Road 1kmDirections: 1 km or less down the coastal road beside the Tulum Ruins.

 Lori looking at Temple of the
Wind by Waalewiener
cliff ,it looks awsome .
The Mayas traded their goods and the things they made with other area in the Carribean
like Guatemala and El Salvador or else for central Mexico and other area in what are today Panama, Costa Rica and Colombia.
Fishing boats and trading vessels arrived and departed probably from an easily accessible cove seen below between the Castle and the Temple of the Wind area .

 El Castillo by LoriPori
If you face the Castillo from the front, the Templo del Dios Descendente, Temple of the Descending God, is on your left. The descending god, depicted above its narrow entrance, appears all over Tulum as a small, upside-down figure. His exact meaning is not known. He may represent rain, lightening or the setting sun.

 Temple of the Frescoes by Waalewiener
The sculptures and paintings give that impression .
On the facade above the entrance of this temple is a human figure with its head downwards .
In the corners of this building are two stucco masks believed to be possibly of Chaac the rain God.
This building has two temples a lower and an upper temple it was probably build in different stages,as many buildings were in these ancient Mayan cities. Leave a Comment Address: Ruinas Tulum Higway 307Directions: Ruinas Tulum Higway 307 near Tulum Village 63 km past Playa del Carmen
