- Casa Cenote - The first significant landmark you’ll come across is Casa Cenote. Enter through the gateway and find yourself in a completely different world.
- Platforma Funeraria - To the left is the Platforma Funeraria, where the ancient Mayans performed their funeral ceremonies. Before burial or cremation, maize was placed in the mouth of the deceased, symbolizing sustenance for their journey to the afterlife and representing life and rebirth.
- El Castillo - The next stop is unmissable, El Castillo. Towering at 40 feet, The Castle was constructed to honor the Mayan God Kukulkan and is situated at the highest point in Tulum, enhancing its impressive presence.
- Temple of the Frescoes - As you proceed, you’ll encounter the Temple of Frescoes, famous for its intricate paintings of various Mayan deities.
- Tulum - Next, visit the Temple of the Wind, one of Tulum’s most intriguing structures. Perched on a cliff, it was designed to warn of incoming storms.
The circular platforms here signify that this is a temple dedicated to the Wind God.
- Casa del Chultún - The brilliance of Mayan architecture is showcased in The House of Chultun. This building ensured that Tulum’s inhabitants had sufficient fresh water by channeling rainwater into a reservoir.
- Templo del Dios del Viento - Observe closely to see the intricate network of holes in the temple. When strong winds from the Caribbean blow, these holes whistle loudly, serving as an effective warning system.
- Great Platform - Continue past the platform and pause in front of the ruins of a house on the right. This is Casa del Noreste, or the Northwest House, which would have housed important figures in Mayan society.
- Templo Maya (Tulum Playa) - The temple’s main facade features niche figurines of the Maya ‘Descending God’ or Venus, showcasing the craftsmanship of Mayan artisans. The “Descending God” is depicted as a stucco figure on the western wall of the temple in the central precinct, giving the temple its name, the “Temple of the Descending God.”
