O monumento principal é a pirâmide de Nohoch Mul ou o “Castillo”, com 42 metros de altura. E pode-se subir, aliás não sei se se consegue ver pela foto, mas tem uma corda a meio para ajudar na subida. A subida ainda se faz mais ou menos, é muito a pique mas com a ajuda das mãos lá se chega ao topo. Agora a descer custa, prinicipalmente quem tem tendência a vertigens. No topo consegue-se vislumbrar a copas das árvores....
A cidade Cobá era enorme e as ruínas estão espalhadas pela floresta...como chegar à pirâmide? Ou se anda ainda uns 2 km até ao centro da cidade para a subir ou com poucos dólares paga-se por um "táxi". Uma bicicleta que puxa um reboque onde dá para duas pessoas, pedalada por alguém. O senhor espera para nos levar de volta. :)
In the middle of the forest stand the ruins of a great city, Coba. Only part of the city was cleared to be visited by tourists. If it's worth going to see?! For me it was...I am passionate by ancient civilizations and their history. But they are only ruins... showing us its history.
The main monument is the Nohoch Mul pyramid or the "Castillo", with 42 meters high. And you can climb it, in fact I do not know if you can see on the photo, but it has a rope to help through. Going up it's OK, you can use your hands to reach the top. Now, to came down... specially who has a tendency to vertigo. At the top it is possible to glimpse the tops of the trees ....
The city was huge and Coba ruins are scattered through the forest ... how to reach the pyramid? Or walking about 2 km to the city center or for a few dollars you can get a "cab". A bicycle with a trailer where you can fit two people being pull by someone. They will wait to take you back. :)
