After, we continue our journey to Coba to our favorite restaurant to enjoy a delicious meal. Here you will taste the regional cuisine and the famous “Cochinita Pibil”, a pork dish smoked underground wrapped in banana leaves! Once we have reloaded energy, we continue to ride through the jungle on bikes or pedicabs at Coba Ruins. Here we will have the chance to climb on many buildings and even temples to see the vast, dense forest as we rise through the canopy. Last but not least, we finalize our tour at a local Cenote, an underground cavern system with fresh wáter. If you are brave enough, 45ft and 20ft jumping platforms are available here!

Additional Information: Tulum, " a Testimony of the Descending God" Tulum (meaning wall in Mayan) located 128 km south of the city of Cancun; It´s believed that the original name was Zama (meaning sunrise) because a dramatic daily sunrise that you can enjoy thanks to its geographic location. Built initially as a port city overlooking the Caribbean, It´s majestic temples sit perched as a lighthouse on the shore. The important structures here include the Castillo, a former Temple and the Temple of the Frescoes with 13th-century wall paintings. As you learn about each structure's purpose, the symbolism and the organization they functioned by, you’ll be surprised to find a Book of Mormon-like setting. This site is the “Garden Tomb” of Book of Mormon lands for us. At the Temple of the Frescoes, we see a depiction of “laying on of hands” on one fresco“ hands that are symbolically giving a blessing. You will also find a depiction of a woman giving birth to an “upside-down” God; God known as Itzamná, also known as the "Descending God" who many believe is a possible reference to the Savior Jesus Christ. The highlight of the tour is a three-panel series on the three-tiered temple. The right-hand panel shows an upright God (which we interpret as God the Father). The center panel depicts an upside-down God (which we suggest as imagery of the Son of God, coming down to earth). The third panel is blank (which we propose might represent the Holy Ghost hence the lack of a Body). Cobá, a "Gem hidden in the Jungle." The ancestral city of Cobá, an archaeological site hidden deep inside the rainforest of the southeastern end of the Yucatan Peninsula. This quiet and peaceful archaeological site dates from 600-900 AD., at once it was the heart of a large metropolis composed of many cities from the Yucatan Peninsula. We’ll explore these Mayan ruins riding bikes or hiking. Climbing the Nohoch Muul temple (the tallest pyramid of the state measuring 140ft tall approx.), you will be able to admire the pristine beauty and immeasurable vastness of the surrounding subtropical jungle. These are the biggest ruins near Cancun, Mexico. They are also the most recently uncovered, and restoration is still taking place. This journey then leads you to an authentic Mayan village, a self-sufficient Mayan community living not too far from the archaeological site. You will walk through the forest, learning the mysteries of their local fauna and flora. You’ll be able to see their lifestyle and wildlife. Afterward, you’ll swim in a freshwater underground cave cenote. Mounting bikes provided. A taxi-tricycle is available for mom and babies. At times, there are also smaller bikes available for children ages 7-11 (otherwise, there are taxi tricycles for them too). This tour is one of the best family tours we offer.
