Tour the Ancient Fortress of Tulum
The town of Tulum was built to be a fortress, with its name translating to “walls” in Maya. It was an important trading center during ancient times due to its strategic location near the sea. In the present day, remnants of the once glorious settlement still stand, and they attract millions of visitors to Tulum yearly. The well-preserved ruins of the ancient Mayan city are primarily located on top of 12-meter-high cliffs overlooking the beautiful Caribbean Sea. Visiting the site is one of the most popular recreation activities in Mexico because the views can make you feel like you are stepping back into the past.
