This beautiful walled city was built on cliffs overlooking the blue-green waters of the Yucatan Caribbean. Your local LDS guide gives the history and archaeology of the site and suggests what relationship the ancient Mayas may have had to the peoples of the Book of Mormon. From Tulum, we travel deep in the Yucatan jungle to the Coba ruins. We will ride bikes through the ancient site of Coba, exploring and learning about the Mayan civilization and how it may have related to the people of the Book of Mormon.
