Travel Photo of the Week: The Stunning Mayan Ruins of Tulum, Mexico

I don’t know who the Mayans’ realtor was but he sure did them right on this deal. While not as large or historically important as Tikal or other complexes, the ruins at Tulum have the more dramatic setting and are well worth a taxi ride from downtown Tulum. I was there at opening time to beat the crowds, but with it being New Year’s Day whoever had the keys to the gate rolled in 45 minutes late. I shared the place with a busload of Japanese tourists.

I was there back in 2005, but your picture is a lot nicer than mine; thanks for the memories.
