Tulum Coba
About
Tulum is the most emblematic site on the coast of Quintana Roo, due to its privileged location next to the Caribbean Sea and the excellent conservation of its buildings and mural paintings.
The name of Tulum is relatively recent, and is translated as "wall" referring to the wall that surrounds the archaeological site, another possible meaning is "place of the stones". Anyway, it is a place that had different perhaps simultaneous activities, but being by the sea facilitated the entry and control of the products that were marketed in the Mayan zone and at the same time served as a military fort, although this is less credible now. that some hypotheses assure that they were not warlike.
You will visit this wonderful place in the company of a guide who will explain the history of this emblematic site, you will be able to observe and take pictures of the turquoise tones of the Caribbean Sea with a beautiful panoramic view. After Tulum we will visit a cenote, you can swim and enjoy its crystal clear waters.
Finally we will go to the archaeological zone of Cobá, another wonderful place in the middle of the jungle where the guide will give you an explanation of said place, you can do the tour on foot but if you like adventure you can rent bicycles at the place so that go at your own pace or if you prefer you can also rent a "Mayan limousine" (tricycles for 2 people with a driver) ideal for people who cannot walk well, families with small children or simply to go more comfortable enjoying the place.
