Tulum, Mexico

Tulum is a place of Mayan city ruins. The ruins are located on the east coast of the Yucatán peninsula on the Gulf of Mexico in the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico. The archaeological site is relatively compact (compared with many other Maya sites in the vicinity), and is one of the best-preserved coastal Maya sites. Its proximity to the modern tourism developments along the Mexican Caribbean coastline has made it a popular destination for tourists. Tulum ruins are the third most visited archaeological site in Mexico, after Teotihuacan and Chichen Itza. It is popular for the picturesque view of the Caribbean and a location just 120 km south of the popular beach resort of Cancún.
