The three worlds of the Maya (Tulum, Coba, the underground river Sak-Aktun).

Did you know that the ancient Maya lived in three worlds at once? In addition to the usual earthly life, each Indian had his own star in the sky, representing his soul in the world of the gods, and carefully kept by Kukulkan in the Milky Way. And each of them had a twin spirit from the underworld of Xibalba, where even the greatest Mayan rulers did not dare to descend. And only in the confluence of these two forces was a man born, molded by the gods from corn and sprinkled with their sacred blood.
In the 21st century, all these Mayan worlds can be visited in one day, observing the awakening of terrestrial and marine nature in the picturesque city of Tulum on the Caribbean coast, rising to the heavenly world along the highest pyramid in the Yucatan in the city of Coba and descending into the incredibly beautiful and bizarre world of the underground the Sak-Aktun river.
Tulum is one of the late Mayan cities, picturesquely located on a cliff on the Caribbean coast. The main port of the peninsula connected all the cities of the Mayan civilization, located along the shores of the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. Moreover, the modern Mexican nation, merged from European and Indian blood, was born in this city.
Coba is an archaeological area that has become open to tourists not so long ago. The largest city in the Yucatan at one time, it had close ties with the great Mayan state of Tikal, located in modern Guatemala. The territory of the city of Koba is so large that it is best to move around on bicycles or tricycles (“rickshaws” of the modern Maya) in order to arrive at the highest pyramid of the peninsula at the end - the 42-meter Nohoch-Mul.
Yucatan is famous for its huge underground rivers that flow under the territory of almost the entire peninsula. You will be able to explore one of the largest underground rivers - Sak-Aktun, naturally decorated with limestone formations, stalactites, stalagmites, columns, etc. The pristine ecosystem of the river is carefully guarded by its caretakers. You will descend to a depth of 20 meters and swim through a section of a cave of incredible beauty.
