- Great Platform - Continue past the platform and pause in front of the ruins of a house on the right. This is Casa del Noreste, or the Northwest House, which would have housed important members of Mayan society.
- Templo Maya (Tulum Playa) - The temple’s main facade prominently features niched figurines of the Maya ‘Descending God’ or Venus, showcasing the craftsmanship of Mayan artisans. The “Descending God” is depicted as a stucco figure on the western wall of the temple, located in the central precinct of the site, giving the temple its name as the “Temple of the Descending God.”
