Best to Visit Tulum by Watching a Video

After disembarking from a cruise ship docked at Isla Cozumel, a passenger describes seasickness on the ferry to the mainland, interminable lines of hordes of people waiting for transportation to the ruin at Tulum, then waiting in an endless to get into the ruin, followed by a visit to the ruin in 90 degree heat with little shade. Her conclusion?

I can come to only one conclusion: Despite my love of travel and exploration-based education, I feel that what would really bring Tulum alive is a well-made HD documentary with engaging narration…and a front row seat on your own couch.

— Doin’ Time at the Ruins in Tulum

Reading about “TravelWitihTwo.com’s” adventure in Tulum, I feel happy and grateful that I am making the Yucatan Travel Movie to help people like her out. I am also very grateful that we traveled in a rental car and arrived before the hordes of tourists dependent upon tour buses.

Itzamna Images in Tulum

Although I had been to Tulum, Mexico, a number of times before, it was only on the last visit that I realized there were images of Itzamna, the ancient Maya’s toothless Creator God, at the archeological site. In fact, there are two images of Itzamna on two corners of the House of the Frescoes or Murals. Today, I incorporated these images of Itzamna into the Yucatan Travel Movie.

Gorgeous Tulum!

I think I might have overdone the number of cutaways to gorgeous Tulum seascapes . . . but, there are so many fantastic photographic images from this beautiful archeological site in Quintana Roo, Mexico, along the Mayan Riviera, I am finding it difficult to limit the number I use. These are the kinds of problems I love while editing the Yucatan Travel Movie.

Lovely Background Music for “Tulum”

Tulum is one of the most beautiful archeological sites in the Yucatan Peninsula. Surrounded by rustling palm trees and perched on a cliff overlooking the turquoise Caribbean Sea, the section on Tulum in the Yucatan Travel Movie needed a poignant heartful musical accompaniement and I am happy to have found it in one of the Sony Creative Software Cinescore selections.

Ah, Tulum!

Tulum is such a gorgeous archeological zone. The aqua waters of the Caribbean glisten with sunlight at the foot of El Castillo. I felt mesmerized with the dynamic video footage as I started the editing process today on this wonderful Yucatan location in the Yucatan Travel Movie.
