The Mayan ruins of Coba are not just pyramids.
Coba is an entire Mayan city hidden in the jungle on the Yucatán peninsula.
It’s one of the few Mayan archaeological sites where visitors can still climb the pyramids.
This site has one of the tallest pyramids on the Yucatán peninsula, which visitors can climb to admire the view above the jungle.
This site is less popular than the Chichén Itzá and the Tulum ruins, so it is not crowded.
While only a 10 square kilometre (4 square miles) portion of this city was excavated, archaeologists believe that the city may be more than eight times larger.
Coba is thought to be the ancient hub of Mayan commerce in the region as several roads lead to other archaeological sites.
There is a cost for both parking and admission to the site. Visitors can either walk or rent a bike for an extra fee to explore the entirety of Coba.
