I feel like we only saw a very small proportion of what was available to see, but these were a few of our favourite pieces.
The main reason most visitors come to Tulum is to see the ruins of the Mayan port city that was actually one of the last to be built by the Maya and indeed survived after the Spanish invasion for about 70 years until its inhabitants were wiped out by exposure to diseases brought from Europe.
