<p><strong>Welcome to Tulum!</strong></p><p><strong>The Ancient Ruins Collection - Mesoamerica </strong>is a dedicated subcollection to the legacy of past civilizations in parts of what is present-day Mexico and Central America.</p><p>This model was designed by <a href="https://www.printables.com/social/15573-dany-sanchez/about">Dany Sánchez</a>.</p><p><strong>El</strong> <strong>Castillo</strong> (<i>The Castle</i>)&nbsp;is the tallest building in the ancient Mayan city of&nbsp;Tulum (Tulu'um), in the state of Quintana Roo, in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico.</p><p>This&nbsp;model is available in&nbsp;several versions:</p><ul><li>Actual state (ruins)</li><li>Hypothetical reconstruction</li><li>Multi-part / Multi-color files for the cliff, grass, beach, and sea</li></ul><p>The ruins of Tulum are situated on 12-meter (39 ft) tall cliffs&nbsp;overlooking the <strong>Caribbean Sea</strong>. Tulum was a port for the larger, inland city of <strong>Cobá</strong>.</p><p>The pyramid was not a castle, but a temple. That's just the name Spanish conquistadors gave to structures like this because it's what they were familiar with. This shrine marks a break in the barrier reef that is opposite the site. Here there is a cove and landing beach in a break in the sea cliffs that would have been perfect for trading canoes coming in.</p><p>Tulum is the third most visited archeological site in Mexico, due to its proximity to touristic centers such as Cancún (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulum"><i>from Wikipedia</i></a>).</p><p>MiniWorld 3D&nbsp;is excited to bring this&nbsp;historical&nbsp;model to life as a homage to all the people of Mexico.
