My entry for People Photography by @worldcapture, week 46

Hi there my Steemian friends and followers!

I am happy to submit yet another entry to the People Photography challenge that is hosted every week by our one and only Chris aka @worldcapture.

This time around, my entry will take you to Tulum, one of the most renowned places on the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico.

The tourists captured in this shot are admiring two things that Tulum is famous for - the incredibly clear and turquoise Caribbean Sea below and the legendary Tulum Ruins found on the cliffs right above the sea.

Once one of the most important religious and cultural centers of the ancient Mayan civilization in Mexico, Tulum used to be known as "Zama", meaning "the place of the rising sun" in the old Mayan language.

These days, it is a very popular tourist spot as the place offers a unique combination of impressive ancient Mayan ruins and breathtaking powdery sand white beaches with stunningly clear and warm water.

If you want to see some more photos of Tulum (without tourists being the main subject of them :D), feel free to check some of my older posts about this place, such as this one or this one.
