Tulum is a beautiful spot where ancient Maya ruins sit right on top of a cliff by the sea. Below the ruins is a sandy beach with bright blue water.
It is loved because it mixes history and beach fun in one place. The old stone temples with the ocean behind them make one of Mexico's prettiest views.
Tulum was once a busy Maya trading town and lookout point. Ships used to sail up to its walls carrying goods long ago.
Many iguanas sunbathe on the warm stones of the ruins. These gentle lizards love to sit still and soak up the sunshine.
Near Tulum are magical swimming holes called cenotes filled with cool, clear water. Families swim in these hidden pools inside caves.
