Why go

Tulum served as a port connected with Cobá and reached its height between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries. That history gives the cliffside setting a purpose beyond the sea view. It also places Tulum later than many better-known Maya cities, extending the story into the period of Spanish arrival.
