RE: Beauties of Yucatan: the magnificent Mayan ruins of Coba

in #travel6 years ago

I really liked reading this post about the Coba ruins. It's cool to see that people are able to climb to the top of the pyramids even tough it probably increases the rate of which it gets destroyed. But it seems like a very cool experience.
And those caterpillars look huge!

Good point with the deterioration caused by the visitors but in fact, most of the other Mayan pyramids are closed to public for safety reasons. Several people have already fallen to their death from them. Very sad.

Oh wow, I didn't know that it could be that dangerous. It makes a lot of sense that they have closed them in that case!

Yeah, there is no solid railings and the stone base is slippery. Combined with those heights, it is pretty dangerous indeed.
