We rented a car in Playa Del Carmen and took the very easy drive to Coba. The ruins were amazing: ball court and pyramid were best. The section with all the stone carvings was not as impressive because time has worn the images off of the stone. Better to climb the pyramid early in the day. No need to rent... More

we had already been to Tulum ruins so i was unsure about coming to this one too, so glad we did. you walk through the site, or hire bikes, rickshaws and there are 3/4 diferent areas of ruins some of which you can climb on etc. Head along the dusty path to the Castillio and wow, first sight is amazing...

What an amazing day. I wished I had more time to spend looking around! My family and I decided to venture to the Coba ruins at the last minute, as opposed to going to Chichen Itza - so glad we did. With this trip we did the "Coba Maya Encounter" tour with AllTourNative adventures. While it was a very early... More

After a long bus ride and a long walk, we got to the pyramid. You could also ride a bike to them, buy the ground is uneven and has lots of rocks. The climb was very hard for us older folks. The weather was hot and very humid. but it was worth it. The tour guide, Lili, was very informative... More

We booked a tour of this site through Sun & Fun Tours, so we had a guide (Pamela). She was fantastic - giving us lots of background information on the site and culture. I loved the combination of education & being able to be "hands on" with the site. The biggest draw/advantage of this site is that the pyramid is... More

We visited here, Tulum, Ek Balam and Chichen Itza during the week we were in Mexico. This was our favorite. It's great the way you can rent bikes (not very good ones, but they're cheap) to get around the large grounds. We always like to climb things (like towers, etc), so it was fun to be able to climb the... More

a lot of fun, great views, must see. fun to climb the large ruin, but make sure you check out the rest of the site, the guides are quite good and worth the money.

Coba was hiding under mounds of rain forest. The archeaologists that discovered the pyramids, realized that they could'nt be hills because the Yucatan is basically flat. Underneath the the vegetation was more of the ancient Mayan nation. It is inland, not far from the Tulum ruins, so it's very hot, humid and dusty. They cover a large area and the... More

The pyramid at Coba was great. It is one of the few places that you can still climb an ancient Mayan pyramid. I was really excited about this trip. It did not disappoint. The Mexican government is threatening to rope off the pyramid like they did in Chichen Itza. So a piece of advice... verify that it is still climbable... More
