Coba is home to the largest pyramid in the Yucatán, surrounded by five beautiful lakes. It was a thriving Mayan city around 600 AD, though it was mysteriously abandoned a few hundred years later. Today, visitors can take tours to explore the ruins and enjoy a variety of activities, including zip lining, rappelling, swimming in cenotes, canoeing, and jungle walks.
The price for tours is a bit higher than I am personally interested in, but I plan to talk with locals about discounts or deals when we are in Cancun.
On a side note, I am dropping off my boyfriend’s passport information at the post office today. He currently has a Passport Card, but these cannot be used for air travel. Even within Mexico. They are only valid for ground travel between Mexico, the United States, and Canada and for sea port entry in Bermuda and the Caribbean. Luckily, we have enough time to get him a passport book with standard shipping, since expedited shipping is much more expensive than we want to pay.
