A salt-washed wind meets the cliff edge as the morning light slides across the stone buildings of Tulum, and the tour group steps into a place where Mayan masonry still frames the Caribbean. The day opens at the archaeological zone, where a compact cluster of temples perches above the turquoise surf — architecture that reads as both lookout and lighthouse.
