Tulum Mayan Ruins & Turtle Beach

Today we visited the Mayan ruins of tulum, which is deemed one of the most important historical sites within Mayan history. The reason the Mayan settled here by the coast line was to make import and export easy between the carribbean islands, with alot of trading taking place, on what is now a reserved habit beach for turtles to raise their young, before they swim out to sea. Unfortunately when we saw the beach their is no turtles this time of year, but probably a good job as we noticed while looking down from the main fort on the cliff edge we could see alot of plastic and aluminium waste washed up on the turtle beach! 😢 Which doesn't surprise me as there is soo much tourism within tulum and definitely on the beach front. Before turtle season they clean the beach of waste ready for their arrival 😊 it was amazing to see the Mayan ruins over such a beautiful setting, so not surprised the Mayan wanted to stay here, with the blue water and white sands. On our travels we were greeted with the presence of many land iguanas, and safe to say it's mating season 😂Read more
