One of the destinations we here at The California Native<\/a> love to travel to is Mexico. On a recent trip to the Yucatan Peninsula<\/a>, our own Lee Klein visited the archeological site of Tul\u00fam<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tul\u00fam is the site of a Pre-Columbian Maya walled city which served as a major port for Cob\u00e1 (large ruined city of the Pre-Columbian Maya civilization). The Maya site, formerly known by the name Zama (meaning City of Dawn), stands on a bluff 12-meters tall, along the east coast of the Yucat\u00e1n Peninsula on the Caribbean Sea. Tul\u00fam was one of the last cities inhabited and built by the Mayas; reaching it\u2019s peak between the 13th and 15th centuries and surviving about 70 years after the Spanish began occupying Mexico. It appears diseases brought by the Spanish settlers were the cause of Tul\u00fam\u2019s demise. Today Tul\u00fam is one of the best-preserved coastal Maya sites and a popular location for tourists.<\/p>\n

You can visit both Tul\u00fam and Cob\u00e1 on our 7-day Exclusive Yucatan Adventure<\/a>.<\/p>\n
