A walled Maya city on 12-metre cliffs above the Caribbean, a port for Cobá that flourished between the 13th and 15th centuries and was still inhabited when the Spanish arrived. Inside the wall stand El Castillo on the cliff edge, the Temple of the Frescoes and the Temple of the Descending God, with a beach below.

A cenote about 4 km north-west of Tulum on the road to Cobá, part of the Sac Actun cave system. Wooden steps lead down to clear pools under rock overhangs with stalactites, where visitors swim and snorkel with turtles, and divers enter the flooded caves.

Two neighbouring cenotes, the 'two eyes', about 20 km north of Tulum, run by the local ejido as a park and the entrance to a flooded cave system explored since 1987 and now part of Sac Actun. Visitors snorkel in the clear water under the cavern roof; divers follow lines into the caves.
