Approximately 25
miles inland from Tulúm, deep in the jungle, lies
the ancient city of Cobá. Although only a small
part of this archeological site has been mapped, experts
believe that it was one of the largest settlements in
the area and controlled a trade empire during the Classic
period. A network of “sacbes” (Mayan roads) radiates out
of the city center, linking it to other sites in the Yucatán.
Five shallow lakes would have provided Coba´s inhabitants
with water. The principal building is the Yucatán.
Parrots, huge tropical butterflies and spider monkeys
can be spotted at Cobá, adding to the adventure
of exploring the jungle
As Cancun is the gateway to the Mayan World, EPIC Group

of the most important Mayan cities such as Uxmal, Palenque,
