cobá & tulum

Geared up for an early morning and headed to Cobá, an ancient Myan city about 30 miles northwest of Tulum. It was estimated to have had 50,000 inhabitants at its peak civilization and was founded in approximately 500 to 900 AD.

We packed up and hit the road after huevos rancheros and checked out the Tulum ruins, a walled city that served as a port to Coba for the Mayans in the 13th to 15th century. Stunning!
