About This Attraction

Tulum Mexico

The Tulum Ruins are a popular archaeological site located on the east coast of the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. This site was once a vibrant port city during the late post-classic period of the Maya civilization. The Tulum Ruins are uniquely positioned on a cliff overlooking the Caribbean Sea, providing spectacular views for visitors. Notably, the El Castillo pyramid is a central feature and served as a lighthouse guiding Mayan sailors.

When planning a visit, its essential to know that Tulum Ruins opening hours are typically from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM daily. The site is accessible via a short walk from the main entrance, and there are guided tours available for those interested in learning more about its history. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and bring water, as the tropical climate can be quite warm. Its also advisable to arrive early to avoid crowds and enjoy a more peaceful experience.
