Coba Ruins

Today we drove to Coba to visit the ruins there. The ruins are about an hour away from Tulum.
We rented bicycles as it is quite a distance between the different sites.


One side of a ball court where teams played against each other. The person who was able to get the ball through the ring was the winner. He was honored as the winner and his prize was death. The Mayan people considered it an honor to be sacrified to the gods.

Jessica and Charlie headed up the steps of the largest pyramid at this site. This is the last remaining temple that can be climbed in Quintana Roo.

Checking out another pyramid.

Entering the "Twilight Zone!!" We had a great time at the ruins.
