Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico


A map of the ruins in Tulum at the entrance.


The day turned out to be beautiful, though rain and low temps had been forecast.


What unusual birds...


Retaining walls lined the walkway.


Incredible views of the Caribbean Sea from the cliffs of Tulum


A broader view of Tulum.


















The Palace was the largest residential building.

El Castillo.

El Castillo is the largest of the buildings at Tulum.

Fabulous photos. Aren't the Caribbean waters ALMOST as beautiful as our own Gulf. Love the birds, did you find out what they are called?

No, I didn't find out what type of bird they are, but if you click on that photo, look at the blue flowers/petals/stems on the tree. Sort of a camouflage (sp?).
