Very beautiful Tulum

Tulum archaeological site is not impressive. Compared to other sites I went in Mexico I can say that:

Teotihuacan: these pyramids are huge and the site impressive

Palenque: Variety of very white buildings surrounded by forest

Calakmul: one of my favorite because it has an 'explorator' ambiance, because it's remote and in the middle of the forest full of animals.

Tulum is then remarkable by its beauty: White buildings on the shores of a turquoise sea, magnificent!!

It's a classic, nevertheless, it is really a place you should go.

Consider this if you want enjoy the site:

1-Arrive EARLY!!! Wake up early and arrive when it opens. Then you have the site almost all by yourself!! When we finished the visit and left around 11:30am, hordes of tourists, like a giant wave were entering and it was getting really crowdy!!

2-Don't go if the weather is not all sunny! The beauty of the sea is what makes the site really beautiful. If it's grey, then you miss a lots of the appeal and your pictures will be so so.



If you take to read the information signs, then you can learn a lot from mayas history or you can hire a guide if you prefer.

Wildlife is not abundant, except maybe for the very numerous black iguanas, coatis and a few birds.
