	Guide to Tulum Archaeology Park
		Tulum was built during the dying days of the Mayan empire, and was actually a fort.
		Tulum is easily accessible by road from Cancun or Playa del Carmen and if you like archaeology, should be included as a fun trip instead of an awe-inspiring archaeological find, with the opportunity to see some stunning scenery and have a refreshing swim.
		Tulum is located about 80 miles south of Cancun and just a short car or bus ride away from Playa del Carmen.

		The inhabitants of Tulum were divided into three social strata: the ruling class, who devoted themselves to government, religion, war and trade; the middle class, which included the assistants of the ruling class and craftsmen, and the lower class, consisting of farmers, fishermen and hunters.
		Tulum appears to have been a center of the worship of the Descending God, a deity who was venerated in other cities both on the coast and in the interior of the Yucatan peninsula.
		Tulum means fence trench or wall, and is the name given to the site in recent times because of the wall surrounding it, although its ancient name was possibly Zama~, a corruption of Zamal (morning), associated with the dawn.
