Tulum Ruins Tour

The walk begins just inside the narrow gate in Tulum’s limestone wall. The next stop, Casa del Chultún, takes its name from the underground cisterns the Maya used to collect rainwater. Listen there for the story of how the city supplied its households, then head toward the round base of the Temple of the Wind above the Caribbean.

Open the temple photos when you reach El Castillo. A nearby relief shows an upside-down figure, the detail that gives the Temple of the Descending God its name. The audio tells you where to stand, and the offline map lets you tap any of the twelve stops if you decide to visit the cliffside viewpoint first.
