Mayan ruins of Coba, Yucatan peninsula, Mexico
Mayan ruins of Coba, Yucatan peninsula, Mexico
The approach, beautiful experience hiking the Coba ruins.
This is an ancient mayan observatory, located in Cobá—one of the largest archaeological sites I've visited. 

It is believed that Cobá was a really important city for the Mayas, since it was a major crossroad between all the cities around the Yucatan Peninsula.
The best way to move around the archaeological site of Cobá is by renting a bicycle.

Not only is it faster than walking the 2km from the entrance to the main pyramid, it is also really fun!

Genial ubicación, la atención de la propietaria fue muy buena, nos permitió comprar un garrafón prestándonos su envase. Está muy carca de la laguna y de la Z. Arqueológica. Muy cómoda.

I loved the ruins and cycling around it with the guide. It was walking distance from the hotel so I could make it there before the huge buses of tourists arrived
