Tour the Pyramids of Quintana Roo's Ancient City
Located in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo, just 90 minutes from The Fives Downtown, the Mayan Ruins of Coba are ensconced between four natural lakes hidden within the jungle. Offering the most extensive network of stone causeways in the ancient Mayan world, Coba was first inhabited around 100 AD and said to have had a population of over 50,000 at its peak. It is also believed that Coba was once the most powerful city in the region, controlling farmland, trading routes, and important water sources. It was eventually abandoned when the Spanish conquered the peninsula around 1550 AD. Today, the Coba Ruins still have many significant structures, making it a wild place to visit. Tourists can swim in the cenotes, tour the sites, and climb the largest pyramid, Lxmoja, built of 120 steep stone steps while visiting this ancient Mayan ruin.
