TRAVELS: exploring the Mayan ruins in Tulum

During the week we spent in Mexico (we stayed in Playa del Carmen), we also managed to take a trip to Tulum, a Pre-Columbian Maya walled city which served as a major port for Cobá. Originally, when we decided to visit Mexico, we wanted to go to Tulum, a place that is known for the Mayan ruins and stunning beaches! However, when we started researching hotels in September, we quickly noticed that EVERY SINGLE hotel was already completely booked over New Years. None-the-less, I still really wanted to visit the city, and so we decided to book a tour there. Formerly, Tulum was known under the name Zama, which means “City of Dawn” because of its amazing location right on the cliffs above the coast where you can see the sun rise. Even though it was a cloudy and rainy day, the water still had the most unreal color and everything else was also absolutely beautiful, I can only imagine how gorgeous it must be on a sunny day! I think if and when we make it back to Mexico, we will definitely be staying in Tulum – it was love at first sight ♥
