Ancient Mayan ruins highlight our last day in Mexico

We ended our week’s stay at the El Dorado Casitas Royale in Rivieras Maya with an enjoyable excursion to ancient Mayan ruins in Tulum, about an hour away.

Like most of the week, we had glorious weather which made for great viewing and photography and a pleasant bus ride.

This was our second visit to this famous architectural site but we learned a lot more with the help of a knowledgeable tour guide.

Our outing also included a stop at a cenote (see-note-a), an aquifer with significance to the ancient Mayans. The cenote is one of thousands in Mexico where a pool of water was formed from underground seepage.

We ended the day with a second visit to the culinary theatre at Fuentes, featuring Mexican dishes. The guests were guided through the exquisite five-course meal by a live chef and sommelier.

This has been an amazing experience and we look forward to coming again.

Thanks for following our travels through this blog.
