Maya<br />

Coast<br />

Looking down to the <strong>Caribbean</strong> Sea from<br />

forty-foot cliffs, the ruined city of Tulum<br />

in Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula was one of<br />

the last strongholds of the Maya. Inhabited<br />

until the sixteenth century, Tulum was<br />

rediscovered in the nineteenth and restored<br />

in the twentieth. Long after it was built,<br />

the Temple of Winds still guards Tulum’s<br />

seaward approach.<br />
