Zama, Mayan for "sunrise"
because the sun rises directly over Tulum. The site is made
up of mostly small, ornate structures with stuccoed, gargoyle faces
carved into the corners of buildings.
Temple of the Frescos: There
are still hints of color. See the below image
Dating back to the Classic period, AD 250 to 900,
