The Rough Guide to the Yucatan UPDATE

Due to a production glitch, the map of the Tulum ruins on p. 144 is slightly wrong. The entrance to the ruins is now on the north side of the walls, and the exit is on the south side. (The general approach is still the same, however.) Unfortunately, this means the text in the book is slightly off-kilter too, as the description starts at the old entrance–but you should be able to get oriented pretty quickly, as the site is quite small.

Night-time tours of the Tulum ruins recently started. I haven’t been yet, but the reports sound good–this isn’t a standard sound-and-light situation where you sit and watch. There’s an audio component, but you get to walk around. The cost is M$220, which includes the audio headsets, and the ruins are open from 8pm to 10pm.
