At Your Service Cancún presents, Tulúm.

​

Located 131 KM (81 miles) south of Cancun along the coast of the spectacular Mexican Caribbean. This archaeological site was built late in the thirteenth century, during what is known as the Mayan post-classic period. Tulúm was originally called Zama which means Sunrise in the Mayan language. From the many findings at the site, it has been proven that other cultures traded with the Mayas. Tulúm was very important, it was a seaport, trading mainly in turquoise and jade. Today, Tulúm is the 2nd most visited archaeological site of Mexico. It was one of the few enclosed cities built by the Mayas. With walls on three sides and the Caribbean Sea on the other, Tulum was built to be a fortress.

Akumal or Grand Cenote, (A cenote; is a natural pit, or sinkhole resulting from the collapse of limestone bedrock that exposes groundwater underneath. Especially associated with the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico, cenotes were sometimes used by the ancient Maya for sacrificial offerings.

​

CENOTE is a flooded sinkhole of karstic origin. There are several types of cenotes: open-air, semi-open, and underground or in a cave. This classification is directly related to the age of the cenote, being the mature cenotes those that are completely open and the youngest ones that still keep their dome intact. Like many other geomorphological structures, cenotes are transitory structures that can eventually end up filled and dried, becoming part of what is known as an underground river.
