Coba Pyramid Ruins

The site of Koba, hidden deep in the Yucatan Peninsula, is a Mayan civilization that is also ancient in the site of Bichichen Itza. The pyramid is the tallest of the Mayan civilization, with steep steps and the temple above representing the supreme theocracy. Climbing such steps really takes courage, especially when you come down, it is really a little scary.

The Koba site is the earliest Maya site to be found earlier than the famous ancient city of Chichen Itza, located on the famous Yucatan Peninsula. The main building here is the pyramid, but also the highest pyramid in the entire Mayan civilization. The time to climb the pyramid is very steep and long. The so-called uphill is easy to go down the mountain. It really takes a little courage to climb up and down.

Cobá (Spanish: Cobá) was originally called Co-Bah, meaning abundant water resources. Located deep in the rainforest, surrounded by five lagoons, Koba is the largest commercial city on the Yucatan Peninsula, with the center connected by radiant roads that stretch as far as the Caribbean Sea for more than 100 kilometers. It is estimated that there were about 50,000 or more residents in the peak period of Koba, when the building covered about 80 square kilometers. According to Mayan records in the 7th century, the main buildings of Koba were mostly built in the middle and late classical period in the 1st century, but new buildings have been built since then, and ancient buildings have been restored, which was maintained until the arrival of the Spaniards in the 14th century. Before. The current Koba site has only excavated one-tenth of the place. The distance between different buildings is far. There are some attractions with a fee for manpower tricycle ferry. Most attractions need to be reached on foot. It is recommended to wear comfortable shoes here and bring enough water, hats, sunglasses. Sunscreen and mosquito repellent. Inside the Koba site, I first saw the Maya football stadium, where football competitions swept the entire Maya region 1400 BC.

Cobá is a Mayan urban site on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, not as famous as Chichen Itza ( Chichen Itza), but has the highest pyramid in the entire Yucatan Peninsula. The Koba site here has three complexes, the largest is called the Coba group (La Iglesia church pyramid site), and the Nohoch Mul complex is the highest pyramid area. First arrive at the Coba group and see the La Iglesia church pyramid site. The complex includes a large square, vaulted buildings, courtyards, stadiums and stone monuments, with six radial roads connecting the exterior. Finally, I came to the highest pyramid group - Nohoch Mul complex and saw and climbed the highest pyramid, 42 meters high. It is said that there are 130 steps (104 steps), which is the only pyramid open on the Yucatan Peninsula. It is not too tired to climb the top of the tower, and the scenery is infinite.

Although the Mayan site in Mexico is still much more, Coba is the only pyramid in the Cancun region that can climb up. This area is said to be quite large and only developed within 10 [%]. You can slowly step on a bicycle here. There are also resorts nearby to live in. It took about ten minutes to climb up, but the time to get down will be a bit longer. After going up, you will see the whole tropical rain forest surrounded. The scenery is quite good, and the joy after climbing up is not experienced below.

After finally climbing to the top of the pyramid at the Koba site with hands and feet, when I came down, my foot slipped, and almost rolled down a few tens of meters high stone steps. Fortunately, my waist strength can also instantly make the whole body strength back up, only then fall back on the stone steps to wipe the skin and butt pain. I didn't have a mobile phone camera in my hand at that time, otherwise it would have been broken into scum. Nevertheless, after reading the three sites of Chichen Itza, Tolum and Koba, my favorite is here.
