university professor that wants to share his knowledge with the world! Our next stop, not far from Ek’ Balam, is the Cenote Saamal. On the historical grounds of Spanish Missionaries, the open-air swimming spot is cool and clean, and well organized offering life- jackets and lockers for clothing. A few steps away, built from the ruins of a catholic church, is the restaurant of Hacienda Selva Maya. The staff is super nice here but what is really impres- sive is the food! Home-cooked style food items with flavours that you will remember for a long, long time. Yummie! The final destination of our Kay- Tours trip was the archeological site of Coba. Set within the lush coastal jungle 44kms northwest of Tulum, the area covers 80 square kilometers. On arrival, one can choose to walk, rent a bicycle or hire the MAYAN UBER (as Claudia likes to call the pedal carts) to make the trek into the jungle. The sprawl- ing historical empire will leave you speechless…which is good because Marten has a lot of information to share with KayTours clients. Enjoy! d Main pyramid of Coba perfect wedding magazine.com 85
