Description

Spanish explorer Juan Diaz, a member of the conquistadors' expedition, portrayed Tulum as a city surpassing the beauty of Seville itself. It's believed that this city was one of the last thriving cities of the ancient Maya civilization, but the arrival of foreign explorers led to its downfall. Tulum was discovered by Europeans twice, adding to its mystique and legendary status. Why is the city walled on only three sides? Who is depicted upside down on each building? Why are there human burials beneath almost every house? The answers to these questions and more will be revealed during this tour of the ruins.
