TULUM WITH XEL-HA

A very important archaeological site of the Mayan Culture, TULUM dates from the Post-Classic period and is the only Mayan settlement ever discovered to be completely surrounded by a wall and constructed by the sea. TULUM is located 78 miles south of Cancun. During the ride, a bilingual guide will explain the interesting Mayan Culture. The city of TULUM was built in honor of the sun. The main structure at the site is The Castle, a pyramid-like building crowned by a temple which commands magnificent views of the Caribbean Sea. Other edifices of interest are the Temple of the Frescoes and Descending God; the site contains remnants of approximately 60 structures.
The ancient Maya named this marvelous place “Xel-Ha” which means where water is born. Xel-Ha is one of nature’s perfect creations and a paradise for nature lovers. This extraordinary place is formed by a combination of inlets, lagoons, cenotes and caves that are fed by the sea and underground fresh water springs and rivers, turning Xel-Ha into the world’s largest aquarium. Swim or snorkel in the inlet, peacefully navigate the river, sunbathe or walk on the beach, explore the cenotes, discover ancient Mayan murals, be surrounded by fish, birds, butterflies, iguanas, macaws and more in the world of fun and adventure offered by Xel-Há.
