Coba

A 30 minute ride northwest of Tulum, you will find the Classic Mayan City know as Coba. Coba is located between two lakes in the middle of the jungle providing a very unique and rewarding experience. Make sure you bring along some insect repellent, good walking shoes and drinking water, as you will be doing a lot of hiking. Coba was once home to about 50,000 people and covers an area of more than 80 square kilometers. Keep an eye out for the howler monkeys and an extraordinary variety of jungle birds that call Coba home. Also of note is the Great Pyramid of Nohoch Mul, the highest pyramid in the Yucatan.
