I took a trip to the ruins while staying in nearby Tulum. It is about a 45 minute drive on a well paved clearly marked road, which was nearly empty when I drove it. Several quaint roadside villages to stop at for a drink or snack. I got there at 8 am and was the first visitor and alone at... more

We made a two-hour visit to Coba on 11/5/09. The weather in the part of Mexico had been rainy so we were prepared for that. Fortunately, the rains held off until we had completed out visit to the ruins and were having lunch in a nearby restaurant (Ki-Janal, excellent food and drinks, so-so service). We decided to rent bikes (50... more

My new husband and I booked the Coba Express tour through Amstar, the booking agent at the Secrets Capri resort. The cost was $65. We chose "express" because we did not want to commit the full day that the other excursions require (those stop at a "traditional Mayan village" and/or a cenote for snorkeling). This was a perfect option for... more

My husband and I have been to Chichen Itza and Tulum, but I can honestly say that Coba was the most interesting to me. Most of the site is not fully escavated/discovered, but what has been is astounding. The trip is easy by car, I recommend going on your own and paying a guide at the gate to take you... more

I almost did not see the ruins at Coba because I did not think we had time to fit them in until our guide from Entertainment plus tours, Miguel, suggested we add it to our itinerary . We were already visiting Tulum and he said it was just a half hour away. He could tell we were really interested in... more

When I visited Playa del Carmen, in the mexican caribbean, I decided to visit the nearest mayas sites and I found this one, Cobá, a big city still hidden in the jungle and less know than the most visited Chichen Itza or Tulum. The experience was unique, you can visit the park by walking or renting a bike, wich is... more

Great ruins, most still buried in the jungle. You rent beater bikes for cheap and pedal trails around to all the sites, and climb the tallest pyramid in the Yucatan. What's not to like?! more

We booked a tour (I know, I know, with much chagrin) to visit the amazing ruins of Coba. We booked through www.cancun-discounts.com and did a combined tour of Coba and Tulum. We spent a little over 3 hours in Coba and about 30 minutes is Tulum, so I hesitantly suggest this tour. But this review isn't about a tour company... more

Spent 1/2 day at Coba ruins,could have stayed longer. Drive to the village of Coba (30 min from Tulum), you can park anywhere in the village and don't have to pay the high parking cost at the entrance. 51 pesos per person. You can either hike to the temple or rent a bike. We hiked and it took us ~... more
