Tulum Things To Do
Ruins
The ruins at Tulum are fairly small and easy to explore, and benefit from the stunning backdrop of the Caribbean Sea. There are guided tours around the site, with the main features being El Castillo, The Temple of the Frescoes and The Temple of the Descending God. The best time to visit is early-morning or right before it closes - to beat both the heat and the crowds.
