Coba

To start off our "mayan experience" we went to an old mayan ruin called Cobá. it was really cool to see all the old buildings that were standing in the middle of a jungle, and amazing how hot it was... how hight the ruins were... and how hard they were to climb!
Mom and jake took the "mexican limousine" as our tour guide called it, dad, tay and i walked
Cobá is one of the most important archaeological sites in the area. Built between two lakes during the Classic Period (600-900 A.D.) it was at one time a very large city spread over 80 square kilometers. The main pyramid, Nohoch Mul meaning 'large hill', is 42 meters tall (138 feet) and is the highest in the Yucatan peninsula
