I’ve been to Coba twice now and I think it one of the best archeological sites in the Yucatán. I’m selfishly glad more people haven’t discovered it yet. First time I did it as a day trip and walked the site. This last time I stayed two nights, got to the site early, and took advantage of the pedal taxi services. It was fabulous. Coba is big. It covers a lot of real estate. Well worth the trip.

Nice history site. Not as developed and restored as Chichen itza but I think nicer. We drove ourselves there, no tour. Entry tax/parking fee is is one charge about 200 peso for 3 of us and entry is another 200 peso. We hired a guide (worth it for about 1100 peso). and hired a pedal tricyle with driver for 150 peso (definately worth it) or you can rent a bike each for less. We are in our late 60's and early 70's so tricycle was great! Guide gives a lot of history. We had Roberto May May. Very good. Also we had two adults and 10 year old. He was engrossed and when we rented tricycles he rode with guide in one and us in other and only had to pay for one. Ate at the little restaurant attached. Good little buffet for about 200 peso.

This was one of our last stops on our trip and also one of our favorite! The drive there was typical (although we did see quite a lot of interesting things for sale along the route) but once we entered the ZA, we were blown away by the beauty of the place. The best way to see the ruins is by tricycle. Our guide did all the pedaling, taking us throughout the park to see the ruins. There was a cloud cover and the breeze from the ride was quite nice! I am so glad we took the time to visit Coba ruins. Highly recommend this one over almost all the other archaeological sites we visited in the Yucatán.

Really interesting place to visit, definitely worth while to find out more about the history. My mum has mobility issues and the drive on the bikes you can use was excellent and tried to accommodate where possible. We went with Tui and they advised that the trip was accessible however there is a walk from the entrance to get the bikes which was very uneven.

Fantastic! On the way from Chichén Itzá, we take the opportunity to look at these ruins. Unbelievably interesting with these buildings surrounded by greenery and the jungle so close. Just walk around, doesn't take too long and gives you the opportunity to see some monkeys and look into the jungle for unexcavated remains. The innovation and development of this Indigenous people is fascinating. It is striking how its history and destiny have so much in common with other Indigenous people all over the world

We went to Cobá, with family of 11, and planned on not getting a tour guide. We walked in, past all the guides. After Jorge Moo asks us, we said maybe, let’s look around. Ask for him!!! You will not be disappointed!!! We quickly realized we wanted more information and we liked his relaxed attitude. He was SO informative, a local Mayan, and incredibly joyful to share his knowledge and life experiences. It was wonderful to learn about his life, his people, and the Mayan culture. We saw bees, snakes, and stopped many times to learn more than we would have done by ourselves. Highly recommend. Afterwards he recommended a place to eat, which was my best meal yet, and took us to a local Mayan place to get honey and honey liquor. The whole time, a gracious attitude and very helpful.

Coba was a big surprise for me because it is a huge site scattered around the jungle. Lots and lots of things to see. Also if you don't feel like walking you can take a "Mayan taxi" which is 100 pesos one way. I think it was worth it! P.S. Its sites are in shade all the time so don't worry about being hot and on the sun. Bring lots of water. Mayan descendants work there, they still speak their language. It is so cool.

We loved this site not so far from Tulum as you can walk or ride by bike between different areas within the site. We chose walk option and enjoyed it a lot, discovering one after other pyramid and stelae groups. Weather was tempered so it helped a lot.

This site is really beautiful and quiet. It's bigger than Tulum and hiring a guide inside the site is a good idea. Our guide was very helpful, gave a lot of information to us, and showed interesting spots out of the common route. The great pyramid is the top place to see. However, in the way there you can find lot of beautiful ruins like the oval pyramid and part of the sac-be, the white path built by the Mayans to connect their cities. In the middle of the way you can rent a bike or a tricycle-taxi that makes the route even funnier and fresh. There are some shops outside but most of the items are more expensive than in other sites. So if you plan to visit other archaeological sites in Quintana Roo or Yucatán, save your money for them.

We visited the Coba ruins today and at first had decided not to do an official tour. Once we walked in the park a little past the entry gate where they take your tickets we decided we would ask about the tour and the cost. We found Jorge Moo and negotiated a tour cost (for the longer tour which takes you beyond the first section right by the entry to the whole rest of the park) at $850. Jorge was well worth the cost. We learned WAY more than we would have if we wandered aimlessly through the ruins reading a tour book. There is not a lot of information signs throughout the park so you would really not learn anything on your own. Also, rent the bikes!! The walk through the park would be VERY long and exhausting! Ask for Jorge when you go. He told us that sometimes they have said at the front gate that “he no longer works here” so they can get the tour sale. Walk in past the ticket gate and down the road a couple of hundred feet and you should find him at the first temple. Just so you know, I am a “cheap bastard” and for me to tell you to pay for the tour really means something.
