Why Visit Coba, Mexico?
I did a trip to Coba compliment of the Cancun Tourist Board and it was pretty amazing. One could see the entire forest from the top of the Nohoch Mul pyramid. I’d like you to experience the same.

What To Do
Walk through the ruins of the huge Mayan city of Coba. You may also rent bicycles and ride to the main pyramid, Nohoch Mul pyramid. I did my tour with Alltournative, but you can find other tour companies below. The idea is to walk to the top of the pyramid; but take your time as its quite the hike and very steep.
