On our drive to the coast we stopped for a few hours to see the ruins at Coba. The site sits between two lakes and is divided up into groupings several kilometers apart. These are much more rustic with less restoration. [photo gallery] One exception was the Ball Court which was very small an intimate compared with the others we’d seen. One tall pyramid had vultures sunning themselves at the top.
As we walked along the path through the jungle we came upon this cute little round pyramid. There were several stelae covered by thatched roofs, but the inscriptions were all but gone. <frown>
We finally reached the Nohoch Mul Pyramid and started to climb. The view from the top was of spectacular! There was a small figure in the center of the temple that I believe is the same diving god found at Tulum.
