On one of the last days in Mexico, we went out to the Coba ruins. They are about 50 km west of Tulum. It was fantastic to visit inland ruins, especially to contrast with Tulum. We enjoyed hiking through the jungle, but we missed info about closing time and were among the last few people being “shoed” out.. The Nohoch Mul pyramid was really fantastic:
Here is Carrie (you can just barely make her out!) half way up the pyramid:
From the top of the pyramid was a fantastic view of the jungle:
As we walked through the jungle (on very good, wide trails) we would come across more ruins:
We found this cool skull carving:
And we found proof of the original Mayan ipad!!
(look at all those apps!!)
