Tulum Mayan ruins self-guided walking audio tour

5/5
1 reviews

Explore the Tulum Ruins and uncover the secrets of the Mayan civilization. Start with the House of the Cenote, where the ancient city sourced its water, then take in views of the protective walls and watchtower. Continue to the Temple of the Wind, a shrine to the wind god, and learn about Mayan religion.

Next, visit the Palace of the Great Lord, home to Tulum's rulers, followed by the detailed Temple of the Descending God, adorned with intricate carvings. The Castle, the site's largest structure, offers panoramic views and a platform once used by dancers.

As you move on, pass the House of Columns, an administrative building, and delve into the Mayan Calendar - two calendars, not just one! The Temple of Frescoes, with its stunning artwork, is a must-see, followed by the House of Chultun and the Temple of the Initial Series, prime examples of Mayan architecture.

End your tour with insights into the ancient ball games and the fascinating truth about the Mayans' legacy today.
