    Zona Arqueologica de Coba

    Delve deeper into the Mayan world at the sprawling archaeological site of Coba. Nestled amidst dense jungle, Coba was once a vast and powerful Mayan city, distinguished by its extensive network of ancient 'sacbeob' (white roads) that connected various settlements. Here, you'll have the unique opportunity to explore the site's impressive structures, including its well-preserved ball courts and numerous carved stelae that depict ancient Mayan life and rituals. While climbing the main pyramid, Nohoch Mul, is no longer permitted for preservation, its towering presence and the surrounding lush canopy offer a truly immersive sense of discovery and a glimpse into the scale of this historical marvel.
