City Of Dawn


Tulum, which means the walled city was once called Tzama "city of dawn." the name referred to this ancient Maya cities stunning location: poised on a cliff facing east toward the Caribbean, and receiving the first rays of light at dawn. I didn't just copy that from a guide book, honest.
