North AmericaTulum: A Mayan Paradise on the Caribbean Coast
Nestled on the east coast of the Yucatán Peninsula overlooking the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea, Tulum stands as a testament to the ancient Mayan civilization. This pre-Columbian walled city, once a major port for Coba, showcases remarkable ruins perched atop 12-meter-high cliffs. Dating back to the 13th century, Tulum was one of the last cities built by the Maya and thrived until the 16th century. Today, it remains one of the best-preserved coastal Mayan sites, attracting visitors from around the world.
