Unveil Tulum’s enigmatic history and architecture as you traverse its ancient ruins perched atop breathtaking cliffs. Constructed between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries, Tulum was the last great city inhabited by the Mayan people. This historic site was a place of worship for the Great Descending God, whose image adorns the temples within.
Tulum played a crucial role in sea trade, especially for the trading of obsidian. Tribes from across Mexico and Central America traveled here for commerce. The great wall surrounding the city was erected to protect it from envious traders and pirates who coveted its prime location.
After visiting Tulum, dive into Akumal’s crystalline waters for a captivating snorkeling encounter with gentle sea turtles and vivid marine life. Akumal is a sanctuary for three species of sea turtles: green or white (Chelonia mydas), hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata), and loggerhead (Caretta caretta). This area is rich in biodiversity, providing an unforgettable underwater experience.
Next, discover the mystical allure of Mayan cenotes. Venture into these mesmerizing underground waters and intricate cave formations. Swim in the crystal-clear waters of these ancient freshwater pools, hidden within the Yucatan Peninsula’s land. The breathtaking beauty of the cenotes will leave you enchanted.
The tour continues as you immerse yourself in the natural wonder of the cenotes. The serene, clear waters and stunning cave formations create an otherworldly atmosphere. Experience the tranquility and mystical charm of these underground oases, which were sacred to the ancient Maya.
