How I did it: We went to the Maya Riviera where we took a tour to visit the ruins of Coba. It is s a large ruined city of the pre columbian, maya civiization, located in the state if Quinta Roo Mexico. The site contains several large temple pyramids the tallest, in what is known as the Nohoch Mul group of structures, being some 42 metres (140 ft) in height (tallest in the Yucatan). Coba is estimated to have had some 50,000 inhabitants (and possibly significantly more) at its peak of civilization.
It was a beautiful place:) I didn't get to climb the pyramid.. (and it is the only one left in the maya that you can climb.. the others are roped off and only allowed to be looked at..) Because I hurt my back earlier that day and didn't have any strength in my legs:(
On day I hope to go back to do the hike. My family got lots of pics from the top for me though:)

Lessons & tips: Go to Coba! It is the oldest and you can still touch and explore.. it isn't all roped off. Plus it is in the jungle.. unlike the others wher they don't have much shade.
