The archaeological site of Tulum is truly impressive: the ancient Mayan city is located right by the sea.

Among the most impressive are the Temple of Frescoes, the Castillo and the god of wind’s Temple.
Xel-Há is a nature reserve that attracts many tourists every year, young and old alike. You can snorkel, swim in the cenotes, ride a bike to observe wildlife or even go down the river in tubes. There is something for every taste!
If you want to soak up the culture of the country, you must make a stop at Xcaret Park. Among other things, you will have the chance to see a traditional Mexican dance performance and the famous Voladores ("flying men") ritual ceremony.
