The Tulum Mayan Ruins are approximately 25 minutes south of Taninah. The only major Mayan city built on the coast, Tulum enjoys a spectacular setting perched on a bluff overlooking the majestic Caribbean.
Tulum was still inhabited when the Spaniards arrived and it was said to be larger than Seville, Spain at the time. What remains today, is a rather small collection of buildings. Of course, the spectacular setting of the main temple is truly a site to see. A small beach next to the cliff adds a picture-postcard quality to the area
