| The Mayan ruins of Muyil are located 15 minutes south of Tulum on Highway 307. Muyil is situated around a beautiful blue fresh water lake called La Laguna. This archaeological site is currently being excavated by the University of the Yucatan. Muyil is mostly covered in vegetation, however there are three temple groupings that are quite interesting. According to the lead archaeologist, Luis, Muyil is one of the oldest cities found in the Northern Yucatan. He estimates there are 75 temples in the main complex waiting to be uncovered. This site will be fascinating as it emerges from the jungle but it will be many years before this ancient city reveals its secrets. Muyil has light tourist traffic so crowds are not a problem.
