Chichen-Itza
This site is one of the most impressive testimonies to the Maya-Tolteccivilization of the Yucatan (10th To 15th centuries). It contains someof the most outstanding examples of Central America architecture,combining Maya construction techniques and Toltec sculpted decoration.
Cobà
The once great city of Coba, one of the most beautiful Maya ruins, isnestled by Yucatan's thick jungle and surrounded by exquisite lakesnearby, its name means water stirred by wind and started to become amajor independent community at the time Roman legions were on their wayto building an empire.
Tulum
Tulum is one of the most fascinating archaeological sites in the Stateof Quintana Roo.Tulum was strategically built on a cliff over viewingthe Caribbean Sea .It was built during the dying days of the Mayanempire, and was actually a fort. It's quite tame in comparison to thearchaeological site of Chichen Itza, but it does have one overwhelmingattraction.
