Tulum and Xel-Ha from Cancun

Tulum, the Walled City, is mounted high on the edge of a cliff. The abandoned city towers above the deep turquoise of the Caribbean and a beautiful white sandy beach. The city within the walls was only inhabited by the nobles, high priests and esteemed citizens such as astronomers, whereas the lower classes lived in simple wood and thatch huts beyond. The buildings in the city were originally covered with brilliant paintings and carvings stark white, deep red or vibrant blue, but only faint remnants of these now remain.

A guided visit of the site takes about 45 minutes. You'll then have some time at leisure to take photos of the picturesque views.

Then continue to Xel-Ha (pronounced shell-ha). Here, visitors can learn to snorkel and enjoy observing the fish at an arms length or simply sit in one of the beach chairs and soak up the sun! Xel-Ha is 15 minutes north of Tulum, ideally located to combine the day with a visit to the ruins. There are several restaurants in the park giving the option of arranging a group lunch in one of them or guests can be at leisure.

Tulum is an impressive archaeological site which offers unique views and photo opportunities due to its location on a cliff right next to the Caribbean Sea. It used to be an important trade city of the Mayan civilization and it stands today as one of the most amazing places to visit in the world. 

Xel-ha is known as one of the best and biggest natural attractions of Mexico. It may be the world’s biggest natural aquarium, where visitors can spend hours of fun and adventure while swimming and amazing with the colorful fish of its crystal waters. It is one of the most exciting experiences to live while you visit Cancun and the Riviera Maya.

Combining this natural treasure with the Riviera Maya’s only archeological site located by the sea, you’ll live an unforgettable experience. Enjoy a guided tour to the archeological site of Tulum in the morning, spend some time shooting great photos of your experience and then prepare for the excitement of Xel-Ha Natural Park, an adventure that includes great food and drinks at all bars and restaurants at the park, lockers, towels and snorkel gear.
