Description

The ancient Mayan City of Tulum stands steadfast against the warm Caribbean breezes.

Located on the East Coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, this city flourished during the Pre-Columbian era where it served as a major port for the Mayan people of the Yucatan. One of the primary exports was the beautiful black stone obsidian. After centuries of being an important city of the Mayans, it would eventually fall to the invading Spanish settlers. Now, the ruins leave an amazing view into a fascinating and mysterious culture.

Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico.

Canon 5D. 17-40 L. CPL. 3HS GND.
