From Riviera Maya & Cancun: Guided Tour to Coba Maya Ruins – Cancun, Mexico

EXPERIENCE:

You will be picked up by your hotel in Cancun area or Riviera Maya area. You will arrive early at Coba so that you can explore the site in the cooler hours and avoid the crowds. It’s one of the most recently excavated sites in the Yucatan and was once one of the Maya’s most important cities. Highlights include the Great Nohoch Mul Pyramid, that stands at more than 40 metres high, and stelae that show the powerful female leaders of ancient Coba. Valentina adds, ‘Coba’s main pyramid is the biggest in the region. It’s the hub of ancient paved “white roads” that fan out through the site. There are more than 50 of these roads in and around Coba. They were used for trade and communication.’

Next up is a visit to a Maya community – Coba, where villagers still live without running water or electricity. You’ll meet some of the locals and find out more about their lives and traditions. Experience a Maya ceremony before enjoying a traditional lunch in a nearby restaurant. Finish off the day with a refreshing swim in a nearby cenote – Muul ichi Ts’ono’ot .
