- 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).
