Click on Beautiful World to see Tulum: Beautiful World
This summer I cruised to the Tulum Coast which is located about 128 kilometers south of Cancun. It is an important archaeological remain of the ancient Mayan civilization. The main building called the Castle Tower is built on a 10 meter high cliff looking out over the gorgeous turquoise waters of the Caribbean.
If you ever get a chance to visit, take your snorkel. Within swimming distance of the beach there is a large barrier reef to explore. A fact about the construction of the Tower which fascinated me is what I consider ancient technology. If you place lanterns in the two windows overlooking the sea, you will see a reflection glittering off the water. This manmade reflection highlights a natural passageway through the coral reef barrier which lies just in front of the ruins.
