Lake Koba

Koba is one of the few freshwater lakes on the Yucatan Peninsula. It is noteworthy that it is located near the archaeological complex - the ruins of the ancient Mayan city, which is called the same as the lake - Koba. Translated from Indian it means “water swayed by the wind”.

Koba is a small pond with calm blue-green water and muddy banks, overgrown reeds and reeds. Swimming in it, unfortunately, it is impossible, because there are crocodiles in the lake, as tourists are warned by numerous posters placed along the coast.

The lake is framed by a small boardwalk with railings, allowing you to admire the water (or crocodiles living in it) and the coastal jungle. Also near the water there is a wooden tower with a cable car running from it, allowing you to get to the opposite shore of the lake.
