Maya Ruins of Tulum, Mayan archaeological site at the Caribbean coast, Mexico.

The stone structures stand on limestone cliffs, surrounded by a thick perimeter wall with watchtowers overlooking the turquoise Caribbean Sea.

From 1200 to 1450, Tulum operated as the primary trading port for the Mayan civilization, connecting sea routes along the Caribbean coast.

The Temple of Frescoes contains interior murals depicting religious ceremonies and mythological figures in red and blue mineral pigments.

The archaeological zone opens daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with entrance fees of 95 Mexican pesos for international visitors.

The Temple of the Descending God features a carved figure hanging upside down, marking astronomical alignments during spring and fall equinoxes.
