Walking down into Tulum
"Tulum" means "walled city"
They really mean, "walled city". This is the entrance and this wall used to be 15 feet high.
There were lots of other touristas.
The entrance from the inside.
One of the corner turrets, not far from the entrance.
Looking east from the NW corner turret (towards the ocean).
Ruins. You can see remnants of the original red pigment on the outside (short) wall.
Roof pillars. These were not tall people.
Looking East towards "el castillo" (far center).
Steps to nowhere.
A recently built thatch hut at Tulum, looking off to the ocean.
Ruins. The thatched roof there is to protect some fragile part of the structure.
You can see clearly the height of the first floor of this building. The thatch is protecting a mural on the second floor.
A slanted walkway leads up to worn pillars and a door to the inside of this building (we couldn't go up there).
More interesting worn stairs.
"El Castillo" the central building (used for ceremonies, we are told).
The walls were covered with paintings. You can see remnants of the blue, black, and red on this protected wall.
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
More pillars. It's not clear what this thatch is protecting. Whatever it is, it is very strange looking.
This was a tomb and that rectangle was the last resting place of someone important.
They sure built pillars well. They should have built the second stories out of the same material...
Unfortunately we weren't allowed to get very close to most of the buildings to avoid damage.
This girl had won the Ms. Barcelo Contest the previous evening at our resort.
A very strange looking tree.
The main steps of "El Castillo."
Looking west from "El Castillo."
Modern steps built from "El Castillo" to the beach. All other access from this part of Tulum is pretty rugged
Modern steps 2
Looking NE from the top of the modern beach access. I don't remember that rope being there, I wonder what it's anchoring.
Looking SE from the cliff
Very sharp rocks on the beach.
Looking SE from the cliff 2
Lonely.
The cliffs at Tulum. The sand is incredibly fine.
Cliffs at Tulum. Looking South towards the lighthouse (the square structure on the cliff).
Cliffs at Tulum. Looking North towards the lighthouse.

An iguana sunning itself. It was a little over a foot long.
A channel in the rocks looking from the cliff.

The "easy" way to get to the ocean from Tulum.

They did an excellent job of creating complex forms like these curved cornices.

I just can't get over how short they were.

"El Castillo" and a shot of the crowds.
The cemetary. This was where they laid their dead to rest. They couldn't bury them because of ground conditions, but apparentl
By the time we were done at Tulum the lines (and the crowds) had become much larger.
