5. Mayan Ruins of Cobá (Cobá Archaeological Zone)

In the heart of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula lie the ruins of Coba (Coba Archaeological Zone), an ancient Mayan city considered one of the most important settlements in Mesoamerican history. During its heyday between 500 and 900 A.D., Coba was home to 50,000 residents and was the central terminus of the complex Mayan road system. The jungle site is still being excavated, but visitors can experience the already discovered remains of the rubble, or stone causeways, as well as a number of engraved and sculpted monuments.
