-
Modern steps built from "El Castillo" to the beach. All other access from this part of Tulum is pretty rugged
-
Looking west from "El Castillo."
-
The main steps of "El Castillo."
-
A very strange looking tree.
-
This girl had won the Ms. Barcelo Contest the previous evening at our resort.
-
Unfortunately we weren't allowed to get very close to most of the buildings to avoid damage.
-
They sure built pillars well. They should have built the second stories out of the same material...
-
This was a tomb and that rectangle was the last resting place of someone important.
-
More pillars. It's not clear what this thatch is protecting. Whatever it is, it is very strange looking.
-
The cornice of this building was designed to look like a face. It faced the NW corner tower. I forget what the guide said it w
-
The walls were covered with paintings. You can see remnants of the blue, black, and red on this protected wall.
-
"El Castillo" the central building (used for ceremonies, we are told).
-
More interesting worn stairs.
-
A slanted walkway leads up to worn pillars and a door to the inside of this building (we couldn't go up there).
-
You can see clearly the height of the first floor of this building. The thatch is protecting a mural on the second floor.
-
Ruins. The thatched roof there is to protect some fragile part of the structure.
-
A recently built thatch hut at Tulum, looking off to the ocean.
-
Steps to nowhere.
-
Looking East towards "el castillo" (far center).
-
Roof pillars. These were not tall people.
-
Ruins. You can see remnants of the original red pigment on the outside (short) wall.
-
Looking east from the NW corner turret (towards the ocean).
-
One of the corner turrets, not far from the entrance.
-
The entrance from the inside.
-
There were lots of other touristas.
-
They really mean, "walled city". This is the entrance and this wall used to be 15 feet high.
-
"Tulum" means "walled city"
-
Walking down into Tulum
