Cobá
Cobá Group
Cobá is an ancient (600 to 900 AD), impressive Mayan trading capital settled in the jungle. It has a lot of sacbeobs (white roads) connecting it to other Mayan sites.
After a guided visit in the Grupo Cobá, we’ll take bicycles to explore the rest of this huge site.
Nohoch Mul
On one of our stops, we’ll see a Mayan Calendar.
The main attraction, the Nohoch Mul (big mound), is the second tallest pyramid of the Peninsula. Since covid not possible to climb anymore.
Group Macanxoc
After the group of the paintings, we go to this group that has a cluster of some twenty stelae. The most interesting might be Stela 1 with 313 hieroglyphs on the four sides, referring to the oldest date recorded in the Maya Long Count calendar system, going back to the moment of creation and ended in 2012!
Cenote
After this archaeological visit, we’ll enjoy a cool dip in a crystalline water cenote, followed by a rewarding lunch.
Punta Laguna
Nature reserve Otoch Ma’ax Yetel Kooh
The nature reserve Otoch Ma’ax Yetel Kooh (house of the spider monkey and panter), is located at 58 km from Valladolid.
This reserve is known for its large population of spider monkeys and a smaller group of howler monkeys.
Junglewalk
At arrival we’ll start a pleasant walk into the jungle.
A local guide will help us to find the monkeys. As we go in the afternoon there is a big chance we’ll meet at least the spidermonkey.
ACTIVITIES
If you like a bit more adventure, enjoy these activities (for beginners):
Before going into the jungle, we´ll start with a Mayan ceremony.
Followed by rappelling into a cenote, to Xibabalba, where the Gods of the underworld live.
Next stop is ziplining over a lake, for beginners.
To end with a smooth canoe ride on the lake.
You´ll love it!
