Here is the writer, with a lake in the background. I have lost 40 pound in the last year. I could stand to lose 25 more. I walk perhaps 20 miles a week, thanks to Vioxx. As a consequence, this jungle hike and climb have not been difficult at all. If you have any health concerns, you should hire the bicycle taxi. My two younger children, 9 and 13, were pretty tired after this so I hired a taxi to take them back while we three adults hoofed it.

Margaret and Megan are on the way down. The rope is provided for you to hold on if needed. Some folks did use it, I didn't think I needed to. Weaving side to side worked great.

One last look at the Yucatan panorama.

This should give you an idea of how careful you must be while on the pyramid. We saw no one have any kind of trouble.

We waited for everyone to finish under this thatched roof hut. You see thatched roofs everywhere, I think this picture shows how one is constructed.

Our two youngest in the bicycle taxi went back on another road. The taxis were petaled by Mayan men. Seemed like a lot of work ...

The giant pyramid was our last stop. Before us lies a one mile trek to the bus. Miriam the tour guides' advice was to just to tough it out and walk back without stopping. That worked.

Here again is the white stone wall marking the Mayan roadway. We would recommend coming to Coba. It was shorter for us than riding the bus all the way to Chichen-Itza. Next we are going to visit a few Mayan village that don't have electricity. At the second village we will look in the forest preserve for spider monkeys.
