    Tulum is one of the last cities built and inhabited by the Mayan civilization, and it is also one of the best-preserved coastal Mayan ruins. Looking at the Caribbean Sea along the ruins, the scenery is really beautiful, and the water is very blue and clear.

    The Coba ruins, hidden deep in the Yucatan Peninsula, is a Mayan civilization that is even older than the Chichen Itza ruins. The pyramid here is the tallest in the entire Mayan civilization, and the steps are very steep. The temple above represents the supreme divine power. Climbing such steps really requires courage, especially when coming down, it is really a bit scary.

    I'm glad to be here. It's definitely a great place for snorkeling. Everything in Haiti is so quiet and beautiful. Schools of fish swim around you. It's great.
