Visitors who brave the steep climb up the highest pyramid in Mexico's Mayan world reap the reward of a breathtaking view. At more than 130 feet in height, Nohuch Mul, which means "large mound" in the Mayan language, is the tallest pyramid at Coba archaeological site and in the Yucatán Peninsula. Coba, an easy 45min. drive from Playa del Carmen, is well worth a visit.
