Tulúm Express

The ruins at Tulúm are strikingly set along a cliff overlooking the turquoise Caribbean Sea and surrounded by beautiful white sand beaches. Tulúm was built around 2000 BCE as the Mayan civilization was declining and has both Mayan and Toltec influences. You’ll see Tulúm’s most stunning structures including El Castillo (The Castle), The Temple of the Frescoes, and The Temple of the Descending God. The tour includes a one hour tour of the site with a bilingual tour guide, round-trip transportation, and the entrance fee to the archaeological site.

Cobá Ruins

This historical civilization was a thriving city from 600 CE to about 900 CE, although it is believed to have been settled about 1000 years earlier. You will climb the highest pyramid on the Yucatan Peninsula - it is even taller than Chichén-Itzá's El Castillo.
