Tulum

 

You can access the ruins by walking up the beach, and not only are they just totally striking and dramatic on the edge of the cliff, but you can imagine what it must have looked like in the 1400's.

 

The word Tulum means wall, referring to the massively thick wall that surrounds the entire site.

 

One of the first things you notice are all the iguanas. They rule the place. And they LOVE eating red flowers!
