We spent a few hours seeing the Mayan ruins in Coba. Now a few years ago we were in Chichen Itza and if given the choice and you could only choose one, its a no brainer - Chichen Itza is by far a more impressive Mayan ruin site.
That said what Coba offered is the ability to actually climb the last temple so that was very cool. (You use to be able to in Chichen Itza until some lady fell and took out a few other people , they all died from what I understand)
It was a cool day on the coast so it was a great day to go inland and spend some time.

A wasps nest - definitively Myan and nasty

Some sort of game the arena much smaller here than in Chichen Itza

This was what they called the white road (white rocks) and was a trail all the way to Chichen Itza (about 100km)

More ruins

Now we get a look at the last temple which as you can see you are allowed to climb up. Up was not so bad - coming down was much harder and a little scary
