Cobá
Vast and well-preserved Maya city
This ancient city, which saw its peak between 200 and 600 BCE (before Chichén Itzá became more powerful), is so large that it is best explored by bike or tricycle taxi.
Cobá is best explored in trainers or walking shoes. The steps up the Nohoch Mul pyramid are narrow and uneven, so flip-flops or sandals will make your ascent harder and rather dangerous. Bring a backpack with a few snacks and water as well as your swimwear. After visiting Coba, you may also want to make time to cool off with a swim in the nearby Cenote Choo-Ha.
