Tulum: The Ruins By The Sea

We got to visit Tulum, the only Mayan ruins with a seaside location, when the cruise stopped in Cozumel (post coming up) for a day. Many discouraged us to do a DIY from Cozumel, because it is a long way to go from Cozumel and we might not get back in time to the ship by departure time. But we tried and got lucky. To get to Tulum from Cozumel, one must first take a ferry to Playa del Carmen (post coming up). This takes about 45 minutes. From Playa del Carmen, it is another hour or so by car. We were lucky to hire a taxi (driven by a woman)as soon as the ferry docked in Playa del Carmen so there wasn't too much time wasted.

This would be a photographic tour. If you want to know more about Tulum, click here for the wiki entry.


I could even go to Cancun, why not?

While waiting for the trolley to the ruins, I was people watching.


The pole dancers were doing their dance atop the pole.


Like me, she was taking photos.


Mom and daughter synchronized watching.
