After an overnight bus ride from Palenque I arrived in Tulúm. Tulúm is on the east-coast (Caribbean side) of the Yucatan peninsula in the state of Quintana Roo (not Yucatan).

And it is famous for it's pristine beaches and the the only Mayan ruins that were built right at the coast:



Really beautiful and I was really there!




The beaches are almost empty, the sand is perfectly fine white sand and the water is really turquoise and really warm!










In the whole Yucatan peninsula there are numerous so-called Cenotes.
These are sink holes, caverns and caves in the ground, partly filled with water (fresh water; 24 degrees warm).

So you can go snorkeling or diving in this fascinating and strange underwater world. I went on a snorkeling trip, here some of the pictures from there:





This is me and a German guy I met in Tulum snorkling:



And this is me with the mexican guide:



And because it is not so easy taking nice pictures there here some pics from the website of Hidden Worlds (as this place is called)
