While Europe tunneled through the Dark Ages, the Maya were constructing temples and observatories of amazing beauty and engineering precision, evolving elaborate rituals aimed at the fulfillment of harmony and cosmic order. The archaeological site, one of the 3 vertices of Tulum, comprises its mysterious soul and historical flashpoint - a rich legacy of traditions and achievements in architecture, calendrics, sculpture, glyphs, astronomy, trade, mathematics and medicine
A short 5 min ride from Posada Luna del Sur, become immersed in the magic of Tulum archaeological ruins. With traces of architectural evidence dating to the early classic period, Tulum ruins are suspended on limestone cliffs hugged by a powdery-white beach and turquoise waters - its waves reminiscent still of the ebb and flow of the Maya at this late outpost of their era. The structures of El Castillo, Templo de los Frescos and del Dios Descendiente stand as silent witnesses of rituals for the Mayan Gods of creation and thunder and fertility
