Cobá Ruins and Pyramid Climb

A Classic Maya city deep in Quintana Roo jungle connected by an ancient 100-kilometre sacbé road system, Cobá's Nohoch Mul pyramid at 42 metres is the tallest climbable Maya structure in the Yucatan and its summit view over an endless flat jungle canopy produces the most overwhelming sense of the Maya civilization's territorial scale. Unlike Chichen Itza's El Castillo, climbing is still permitted with the aid of a rope on the steep staircase.
