Tulum is one of the last cities built and inhabited by the Mayan civilization, and it is also one of the best-preserved coastal Mayan ruins. Looking at the Caribbean Sea along the ruins, the scenery is really beautiful, and the water is very blue and clear.
We cycled to the ruins from our hotel and found them easily. You can buy your tickets in advance from a roadside stand next to the ruins, which means you can skip the queues and get the fast track entry. There is little shade as you walk through the jungle to the ruins, so my advice is to bring a hat, water and sunscreen!

The Coba ruins, hidden deep in the Yucatan Peninsula, is a Mayan civilization that is even older than the Chichen Itza ruins. The pyramid here is the tallest in the entire Mayan civilization, and the steps are very steep. The temple above represents the supreme divine power. Climbing such steps really requires courage, especially when coming down, it is really a bit scary.
The Coba ruins are the earliest Mayan ruins, earlier than the famous Chichen Itza ancient city. It is located in the famous Yucatan Peninsula. The main building here is a pyramid, which is also the tallest pyramid in the entire Mayan civilization. The time to climb the pyramid is very steep and long. It is said that it is easy to climb up the mountain but difficult to go down the mountain. It really takes a little courage to come down after climbing up.

I'm glad to be here. It's definitely a great place for snorkeling. Everything in Haiti is so quiet and beautiful. Schools of fish swim around you. It's great.
Mexico's natural scenery is still very good, and it also has a good traditional culture

There are beautiful scenery and I was completely attracted by the environment here. Our tour guide was also very friendly and introduced a lot to us, both culturally and geographically. This trip was especially worth the money!
This is a large natural cave formed by limestone, and the groundwater inside forms an underground river. The plants above the cave grow vertically, adding a lot of mysterious fairy tale colors to this place. It is a hot summer day outside, but the lake water here is very cool. Everyone can swim in it to their heart's content. It is really very comfortable and magical.
