Summary edit

Description

Tulum - Templo Dios del Viento.

The “Temple of the Gods of Wind” was designed by the Mayans as a lookout for marauders and as a hurricane warning system. When a hurricane headed for Tulum, the winds whistled through a hole at the top of the temple. The Mayans would hear the signal and then know to leave the walled city and seek protection near the outer wall.
