We drove out to Coba, about an hour and a half from where we were staying.
We rented bicycles to ride through the jungle. It was very beutiful riding under the canopy of trees with the wind blowing in your face to help cool us off.
Carved stellae that they had under thatched huts to protect them from the weather.This is one of many.
3 level temple.
One of the arches
Standing in front of the arch.
On the stairs of one of the temples.
A small ball court.
Nohuch Mul pyramid or Gpyramid. It has 120 steps and is 126 feet tall. At the top of the pyramid the building has 2 small carvings known as the descending God.
A view from the top. It was so beautiful up there. You look out at a canopy of green trees and can see the peak of a building in the middle of it.
Coming down the steps.
We were all hot and sweaty and went to the Gran Cenote, which is pretty close to Coba. It was very cool water and clear and pretty shallow caompared to most of the other cenotes.
The tree roots came through the rocks trying to find water. Really pretty place!
Swimming to another part of the cenote. There were a lot of box type turtles we saw as we got out.
