Cobá's ruins belie its status as the centre of the Late Classic (AD 600 to 1000) Mayan empire. Only a fraction of its structures poke above the thick forest, but what has been excavated is impressive, particularly Nohoch Mul, where steep steps lead to sweeping views of the Yucatán jungle. Just a 3-hour drive from Cancún, Cobá's pyramids, temples, and stone carvings will draw you into the mysteries of the ancient Maya.
