About

  • Coba is a magnificent archaeological site located in the middle of the Jungle across from Tulum. It is the tallest Pyramid of the Peninsula of Yucatan (140feet) and the only one allowed to Climb.
  • There are two kilometers walk from the entrance to the main pyramid named Nohoch Mul. But it is a quite wooded path, perfect to Explore the Impressive Ancient Road Network where you can find other amazing structures such as small Mayan ball courts and the Intriguing Stele # 1 on which Mayans encrypted the end of an era for the Year 12- 21 2012 (Not the end of the World)
  • The main attraction is the pyramid that you are allowed to ascend as it is semi-restored, it is a moderate level climb and there is also a rope installed to hold on and help yourself. Anyone without physical problems can climb perfectly just by taking it easy…The view from above is just spectacular!
  • Coba has the charm of being in the wildest state, without merchandise stalls on the route, and without so many tourists. Coba’s own Story, Light, and Energy make this place simply Magical!
