Nohoch Mul

The church of Coba, Nohoch Mul, The Great Pyramid of the Yucatan Peninsula

Mexico is Magic, the small village of Coba, in the Mayan jungle of the Yucatan Peninsula, one hour into the jungle from the Mayan coastal location of the mighty, Tulum. This is one of the tallest Mayan Structures built on the Yucatan Peninsula. The village of Coba was built in the very early AD years. Maybe 1 AD. And you are allowed to climb it to the peak. What a blast.

Nohoch Mul Pyramid Coba Ruins Mexico

In this video I recorded my climb to the Top of the Pyramid. Along with views from the top of the Pyramid and my climb back down. Beautiful Mayan music playing in the background.

Surprising a girl is never an easy thing to do. Convincing her that you want to fly a drone after passing 5 or 6 large signs that say ‘No Drone’ (while in Mexico) increases the difficulty. Oh, and btw we will be hiking up the tallest Mayan pyramid on the Yucatan Peninsula and the second tallest Mayan pyramid in the world. No Sweat. Actually, lots and lots of sweat. Like non-stop sweating.

I’m lucky.

I’m lucky that Christine and I like to take photos and video during our trips so bringing a backpack full of equipment doesn’t sound any alarms.

I’m lucky that a complete stranger took photo after photo of us during this special moment… and they were actually in focus! ????

I’m lucky that I met such a wonderful woman and being with her has been the greatest adventure of my life.

I’m lucky that she said YES.

COBA TOUR - Riviera Maya Part 1 (cc)

Coba was the second largest city of the Mayan Civilization. The site has 6500 buildings, only 5% have been excavated to date. This is our Coba tour with our guide Mario teaching us of this amazing archeological site. Highly recommended tour to learn about the History of the Mayan People.
We visited the Coba Group, walked 1 km to the Painted Group, then 1 km to the Nohoch Mul Temple seeing sac-be roads and stellas(there are 44 that have been found).

Travel Guide to Cancun/Yucatan

In this Cancun travel guide, I travel around Cancun and the Yucatan Peninsula, including taking a boat to Isla Mujeres (the small island just off the coast of Cancun) for some snorkeling, visiting the market at Parque Palapas in downtown Cancun for some tasty snacks, and exploring Coba, the former Mayan city, which is home to the Nohoch Mul pyramid, the tallest temple in the region that you're allowed to climb.

MAYAN RUINS of COBA

#MayanRuins #Coba #QuintanaRoo #Yucatan #Mexico

This is a slide-show of one of our stops on the whole-day photography tour with Bushman Photography. The highlights were seeing all of the ruins, getting a detailed history of the ancient city,and f course the climb to the top of the pyramid!

Coba is 27 miles northwest of Tulum and was an important crossroads to several other Mayan villages. It was populated and built in the years of 600 to 900 AD. It is built next to two lakes and contains several large pyramids. The area is surrounded by a jungle-like environment and if not maintained would be overgrown by the jungle in just a couple years!

Mayan Sacrifices

The Mayans of that time were known to be brutal to their enemies and even to their own people! Human sacrifices were common to appease their rain gods, their crop gods and untold other gods. One of the past-times of the town would be to watch two teams play a combination of a basketball and soccer game. Two teams of three players would try to get a small rubber ball through the hoops using only their shoulders, arms, or legs.

So how was the winning team rewarded - gold? Silver? No, they were sacrificed to the gods because they were the best! I certainly would not want to be on the winning team!

Nohoch Mul Pyramid

The Nohoch Mul Pyramid of Coba is one of the few pyramids you can still climb in Mexico. It is 137 feet tall or 42 meters and has 120 steps to the top. I climbed to the top and was rewarded with views of the rest of Coba, the nearby lakes, and miles and miles of trees! It was well worth the effort to climb to the top.

The roads of Coba start from Nohoch Mul Pyramid and go in all directions to the other Mayan villages of the area. Remnants of the roads can still be found.

Exploring the Ruins

We got to explore the whole grounds of Coba – the playing area of the game the warriors played, several pyramids of differing sizes, tunnels between buildings, and stone tablets with Mayan writings. Some of the Mayan alphabet still has not been decoded. Large parts of Coba is still unexcavated and when that is done who knows what new treasures will be found?

Conclusion

Visiting the Mayan Ruins of Coba was an incredible journey that makes you think about what life was like over 1,000 years ago in this region. It also gives you a rich appreciation of what the people of that time could accomplish just by viewing the remaining structures.

We will see YOU on the next adventure!
