I-Cobá iyindawo yokuvubukula yaseMaya yasendulo e-Quintana Roo, eMexico, engamakhilomitha angaba ngu-27 enyakatho-ntshonalanga ye-(nangaphakathi) edolobheni nasezindaweni zokuvubukula zaseTulum . Kanye neChichen Itza neTulum, iCobá ingenye yezindawo ezivubukukayo futhi ezidumile ze-Peninsula yaseYucatan. Ukuvakashela eCobá kunikeza ithuba lokufunda ngempucuko yasendulo yaseMeya futhi bakhuphuke omunye wemipiramidi ende kunazo zonke endaweni.
Igama elithi Cobá lihunyushwa kusukela eMean ukuze lisho ukuthi "amanzi agxiliwe (noma aphethwe umoya)." Isayithi kucatshangwa ukuthi selihlelwe kuqala phakathi kuka-100 BC no-100 AD, futhi lashiywa cishe ngo-1550, lapho abaqashi baseSpain befika kuqala e- Peninsula yaseYucatan . Ukuphakama kwamandla nomthelela wamadolobha kwakungesikhathi se-Classical and Post Classical emlandweni wamaMaya, ngesikhathi lapho isazi-mlando sinqunywa ukuthi izazi-mlando ziqukethe cishe ama-6500 amathempeli futhi zihlala cishe nabantu ababalelwa ku-50,000. Ngokuphelele, isayithi lizungeze amamayela angama-30 wesayizi ubukhulu futhi lihanjiswa ehlathini. Kunesimiso semigwaqo emayelana nemikhosi engaba ngu-45 - eyaziwa ngokuthi sacbé ngolimi lwamaMayan - ephuma emathempelini amakhulu. I-Cobá iqukethe ithempeli lesibili eliphakeme kunazo zonke ezweni lamaMaya, futhi eliphakeme kakhulu eMexico. (IGuatemala yilapho iphilamidi ephakeme kakhulu yamaMaya.)
Ukuvakashela eCobá
Uma uvakashele, ngemuva kokuthenga amathikithi emnyango wokungena, yenza indlela yakho ngezinyawo endleleni ehambile ehlathini kuya emanxiweni owokuqala avuliwe, aqukethe ipiramidi enkulu, iGrupo Cobá, ukuthi izivakashi zivunyelwe ukukhuphuka, nenkantolo ibhola .
Ungakwazi ukuhamba, ukuqasha ibhayisikili noma ukuqasha ukukhwabanisa kwesitayela somshayeli nomshayeli ukuhamba ezindleleni ezithempelini elikhulu, uNohoch Mul , okuyizingalo eziyi-130 ubude nezinyathelo ezingu-120 phezulu. Misa endleleni yokubonga "i-La Iglesia," isonto, incithakalo encane kodwa enhle kakhulu efana ne-beehive. Emaminithini amahlanu ngaphezulu, eNohoch Mul, uzoba nethuba lokukhuphukela phezulu ukuze uthole imibono emangalisayo yehlathi elizungezile.
Lokhu kungomunye wamapiramidi ambalwa endaweni lapho izivakashi zisavunyelwe ukuba zikhuphuke, futhi lokhu kungashintsha esikhathini esizayo, njengoba izinkinga zokuphepha nokukhathazeka mayelana nokuwohloka kwesakhiwo kungenza iziphathimandla zivale iphramidi kubavakashi. Uma ukhuphuka, sicela uqiniseke ukuthi ukugqoka izicathulo ezifanele futhi unakekele, njengoba izinyathelo zincane kakhulu futhi zinezintaba, futhi ziba negridi evulekile kubo.
Ukufika Emanxiweni E-Cobá:
I-Cobá ingavakashelwa njengohambo oluhamba eceleni ukusuka eTulum, izivakashi eziningi zivakashela zombili izingosi ngosuku olulodwa. Njengoba bobabili behambisana kahle, ngokungafani namanye amantombazane endaweni, lokhu kungenzeka nakanjani. Kukhona amabhasi avamile avela eTulum, futhi indawo yokupaka ikhona eduze nomnyango wesayithi. Uma unayo imoto yakho, ungenza futhi ukuma ku-Gran Cenote ukuze ugijime ngokusheshayo phakathi kokuvakashelwa kwakho kumasayithi amabili okuvubukula, noma ekupheleni kosuku, njengoba kutholakala kahle endleleni.

Ukungena:
Ukwamukela kungu-pesos angu-70 kubantu abadala, mahhala kubantwana abangaphansi kweminyaka engu-12.
Iziqondiso:
Kukhona iziqondiso ezimbili zendawo yokuvakasha ezitholakala kusayithi ukuze zikunikeze indawo yezindawo zokuvubukula.
Ukuqasha kuphela iziqondiso zokuvakasha ezivunyelwe ngokomthetho - zigqoka ukuhlonza okukhishwe uNobhala Wokuvakasha waseMexico.
Amathiphu wezihambi:
I-Cobá iyindawo evulekile yokuvubukula, ngakho-ke nakuba inkulu kunezindawo ezibhuqiwe iTulum, ingaba nokuxubha, ikakhulukazi ukukhuphuka kukaNohoch Mul. Ukubheja kwakho okuhle ukufika ngokushesha ngangokunokwenzeka.
Njengezinhlobonhlobo eziningi zokuvakasha ezokuvakasha e-Peninsula yaseYucatan, izinsuku zasemuva zingasheshe zishise, ngakho-ke kuhleleka ukuvakashela ekuqaleni kosuku ngaphambi kokuba izinga lokushisa likhuphuke kakhulu.
Ngenxa yokuthi kungaba khona ukuhamba ngebhayisikili nokukhuphuka, ukugqoka izicathulo ezinamandla ezinjengezinkambo zokuhamba noma izinkinobho, futhi uphathe izinambuzane ezinamanzi ezinambuzane, amanzi kanye ne-sunscreen.
