Craig Jones - One Blog fits all: Tulum - A Maya walled city which is a must see in Mexico

I mentioned in one of my previous blog posts about visiting a place called Tulum on my Honeymoon to Mexico, Tulum is a walled city left behind the Mayans and found on the East Coast. Standing on top of Cliffs that are 40ft high, it is a place of Beauty, Peril and adventure. The site used to be called Zama which i believe means City of Dawn which probably has something to do with it facing the sun rise.

The fact that this is a walled city has left historians debating the real purpose of the walls. Some say the walls prevented invasion, some say they shielded the buildings within from the harsh winds from the Caribbean sea, another theory was the walls were put in place to give a sense of prestige and power to people who lived within. You can find more info about the site on wikipedia found here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulum

Below are some of the snaps i took of this amazing place
