Home / Playa Del Carmon, Barcelo, Mexico / Scott's Mexico Pictures / Pictures of Tulum, Mayan ruins south of Playa del Carmen, Mexico. 58
Bailey, Chris, Travis, and I visited these ruins one afternoon. It was a gorgeous day and apparently there weren't that many visitors to Tulum that day, but it seemed like there were a lot of people there to me. It was pretty cool.
- You can see clearly the height of the first floor of this building. The thatch is protecting a mural on the second floor.
- Walking down into Tulum
- Very sharp rocks on the beach.
- Unfortunately we weren't allowed to get very close to most of the buildings to avoid damage.

- Travis climbing a rough trail up the cliff.
- This was a tomb and that rectangle was the last resting place of someone important.
- This girl had won the Ms. Barcelo Contest the previous evening at our resort.
- They sure built pillars well. They should have built the second stories out of the same material...
- They really mean, "walled city". This is the entrance and this wall used to be 15 feet high.
- They did an excellent job of creating complex forms like these curved cornices.
