Tulum's idyllic long stretch of white sand is crowned with a Mayan ruin that overlooks the turquoise Caribbean sea. Slip through the narrow stone-arch entrance to explore the once-important port town, believed to have been occupied from 1200-1521 AD.
Objects excavated on the site have shown that the city was a prosperous centre of trade. Behind El Castillo, Tulum's main temple, you can scramble down to the cove below and cool off with a quick dip in the ocean.
The earlier in the day you get there, the better. Crowds from nearby Playa del Carmen and Cancún take over in the afternoon.
