Tulum, a walk among the ruins of Playa Paraíso.
The Caribbean city, built on a cliff, retains a magical and ceremonial air.
A magical environment, a strategic enclave and monumental ruins on the edge of a cliff on which the Caribbean Sea crashes again and again.
It is Tulum, in the Riviera Maya, one of the most visited archeological sites in Mexico and that holds the only Mayan vestiges built on the edge of the ocean. A castle, a palace, temples and other stone buildings raised between palm trees and coral sands and, at its feet, Paradise Beach, could not have another name.
Walking among the remains of the fortress overwhelms and seen from the sea or the beach has something that overwhelms.
This ancient city was not very large, but it did play an important role in the maritime and land trade of the area between the thirteenth and sixteenth centuries, coinciding with the period of decline of the Mayan civilization, and also functioned as an astronomical observatory and defensive system .
