Bike Parking … Like You’ve Never Seen it Before (In Coba)

Well, maybe you’ve seen something like this, but probably not as the “official parking.” This is the official bike parking at Coba:

Bike culture in the Riviera Maya (and nearby areas, like Coba) is certainly an exciting feature of life here, not to mention a very viable mode of transportation. (Although, I doubt to many expats will be riding bike from Tulum to Coba!)

Discover the Mystery of Coba’s Pyramids in Pictures – Gallery #2

Yesterday, I posted the the first set of pictures from my recent trip to Coba, focusing on the main pyramid. Today, I’m going to share some more pictures of this beautiful and mysterious pyramid site.

 

It’s incredible to imagine that the excavated part that we can see is only a tiny portion of the 80 km2 (about 20,000 acres) that the ancient site occupied!  Enjoy the pictures.

 

You’ll remember in my posts about Chichen Itza that I mentioned the ball court, where the very well-known and very wide-spread ball game of ancient Meso-America was played. Coba likewise has one:

This is one of several large lagoons on the site, adjacent to the pyramids:

Whenever you get the chance, be sure to visit Coba! I’m excited to see what archeologists discover in this enormous site and to visit again in the future!

While Chichen Itza and Tulum are beautiful for the excellent preservation of the ruins, Coba, a pyramid site near Tulum, further back into the jungle, is beautiful because it is only half preserved and less than half discovered.

 

The tumbled ruins still surrounded by jungle – and many parts still entirely covered in jungle – offer a more distant and deeper mystery, leaving your imagination to reach deep into the past, and deep under the jungle for ancient treasures still to be found.

 

Today and tomorrow, I will be sharing some pictures from a recent trip to Coba!

 

Starting in the middle, this is the main pyramid:
