Visiting the Mayan City of Tulum, an archeological treasure, is a perfect day trip for those who tire of idly lounging around the pool. What sets the site apart from other ruins in Mexico is both the fact that it is well preserved and it boasts its own, inviting beach on the Caribbean Sea. https://tulumruins.net/
