About this audio guide
This guide to Caleta Tankah, a cove north of Tulum, centers on a small Maya temple hidden in the trees behind the beach club. It follows the American archaeologist Arthur Miller, who arrived at the site known as Tancah in the early nineteen seventies to study a painted wall of waves and sea creatures, and found someone had already been there before him. You will hear how that visit fit into a much larger story of Maya artifacts vanishing from jungle sites across Mexico and Guatemala. Best heard on the short path past the beach club.
