The grounds of Coba extend at least 50 square km. and are set in lush tropical jungle with only an estimated 5 % unearthed. There are about 40 sacbeobs - a network of extensive stone-paved avenues - passing through Coba. One of them running all the way to the mayan settlement of Yaxuna, nearly a 100 km. away. Probably 40.000 mayans lived here at its heyday 600 AD to 900 AD. It is unknown why the site was abandoned!!!
