There are approximately 60 individual structures on this well-restored Post-Classic site, of which the most prominent is El Castillo. The large pyramid-like structure, crowned by a two-room temple, at one time functioned as a lighthouse guiding ships through the treacherous reefs that lie offshore. Other interesting structures at Tulum include the Temple of the Frescoes, which is particularly interesting as it features murals and carved figures in which original pigments are still visible. Tulum is 131 kilometers/78 miles south of Cancun.
