任何不想冒险沉迷于悠闲生活方式的人都应该避免Yucatán半岛。玛雅里维埃拉的沙滩和棕榈树林立的海湾非常迷人。图卢姆距离旅游胜地Cancún约130公里,是玛雅文明时期的贸易中心。它在公元1200年到1400年经历了它的全盛时期,在西班牙征服者到达Yucatán之前。玛雅诸神选择住在这里也不足为奇。玛雅人称这个风景如画的城市为扎马,翻译过来就是黎明之城。Tulúm是唯一一个紧靠海洋的玛雅遗址。埃尔卡斯蒂略是图卢姆最大,也可能是最重要的建筑。它是在许多不同的时代建造的,并融合了许多不同的风格,当你走在它周围时就会很清楚。参观该遗址的游客可以欣赏演员的表演,他们试图重现迷人的玛雅文化元素。 Tulum is the most-photographed Mayan site in Mexico. Although the site is not of great interest to archaeologists, tourists love it - mainly because of its particularly beautiful setting. The history of the Maya is a fascinating and complex tapestry of fact and legend. In their heyday the Maya were a highly civilized people, known for their cultivation of maize, their mathematical skills, their architecture and their sophisticated calendars recorded in hieroglyphics. Tourists in Tulum get the opportunity to experience one particular feature of the Mayan culture: its rituals. Today they are being treated to a re-enactment of the fire ceremony. The New Fire ceremony was performed once every 52 years - a full cycle of the calendar. The priests and warriors celebrated the New Fire in an elaborate performance that they believed would stave off the end of the world. It is fascinating to witness the recreation of these mysterious rituals from Tulum's past, when it was the city of Zama. But the ancient port of the Mayan civilization is now a tourist attraction, situated in a place where, today, the quintessential Caribbean way of life is celebrated: chilling under palm trees.
