The Mayan Ruins of Tulum - Part 2

A barred access to one of the buildings undergoing restoration work.

The House of Columns, also known as The Great Palace, was one of the largest residential building in Tulum. Originally L-shaped, it later received an additional west wing.

The House of the Halach Uinic, to which a thatch awning has been added to help prevent further sun and water damage to the stucco figure beneath it.

The Castle was built over different periods, close to the edge of the cliff on the east side of the inner precinct.

The Mayan Ruins of Tulum - Part 1

I visited these ruins on a scorching hot morning, even though we got there very early... I'm sure I would have enjoyed the visit even more if the sky had been a little cloudy.

In spite of the heat and the lack of shade, I loved the site and I was delighted to see how well kept it is.

Cute coatis

These fluffy cuties live with the guests at the hotel :)
They're coatis, a delight to watch and a big plus in favour of the resort.

Orange and green all over

This is Villa 57, where I stayed during my vacation in Mexico. The Grand Bahia Principe Akumal has some of the best kept grounds I've ever seen at a big resort.

 Colourful and clean, the resort is quite pleasant to walk around in.
