Coba Travel Blogs, Travelogues and Travel Journals

Coba was our first big ruin, and in a way my favorite. We rented bikes and whizzed around, with butterflies fluttering by our faces. The blue morphos were magical, and in the jungle that crept towards the ruins we spotted bees' nests the size of me rolled up into a ball. Also, my first trogon sighting ever!  Undaunted by heat or heights, we both climbed the tallest pyramid (the tallest in Mexico, no less). Getting to the top was breathtaking, for the sights just as much as for the cool, …

Our next stop in the Yucatan was to the Mayan city of Coba. Here we explored some more amazing, somewhat less restored Mayan ruins. The photo shows the largest pyramid at the Coba site, which we then summited in the 100 degree weather.

great vacation

Our resort, the all-inclusive Barcelo Maya Beach, was just south of Playa del Carmen. We went at the end of February-some windy days, but mostly very warm and sunny. We were very impressed with the country and the resort overall.

End of May 2007, flew to Cancun, stayed in Playa del Carmen and drove all over the Yucutan checking out ruins. Of course I hung out at the beach too!

I caught the 7am bus from Tulum to Coba. Got here at 8:30am or so. There's nothing to the town. One main street with stores and restarurants. The ruins are within walking distance of the bus stop (which is also a hotel and a restaurant!) I was completely alone in the park for 30 - 45 minutes. Just as I got to Nohoch Mul, a large family arrived as well. They were pretty noisy, but I waited them out and had a few peaceful moments alone at the top of the pyramid. The breeze up there was really n…

Welcome! This is my LIVING AROUND THE WORLD blog. I took off from Chicago on April 8, 2007 and I aspire to spend the next several years in a backpacker mode. These days I'm living in Latin America www.dorosevich.com has more details

Nuestro segundo día de excursiones, el martes 1 de mayo, festivo, lo dedicamos a ir a Cobá y Tulum. Al igual que el dia anterior, hay que ir hacia el sur partiendo de Playa del Carmen. Ya hoy no ibamos con las incertidumbres de las primeras conduciones en un sitio nuevo, ya hoy eramos veteranos y sabiamos ademas que estos sitios los tienes que ver temprano, que es cuando realmente se ven mejor, al mediodia entre tanta luz, el calor, el cansancio, la sed, no te dan ganas de estar ahi, máxim…
