I have been in the area of Riviera Maya several times and the Coba Ruins are my favorite arqueological visit in the area. They are less know than Chichen Itza or Tulum but definitely worth the visit. When you get there rent a bike to go around the complex and to be able to see everything. It will be fun!... More

Though not as polished and reconstructed as Chichen-Itza, this somewhat remote site boasts the tallest pyramid in the Yucatan and you can still climb it. If driving from Playa, you can pair it with a trip to the archeological site at Tulum and stop at a cenote (or two) on the way to cool off. The parking cost is very... More

We visited Coba the first week of June. It was a great experience. We rented a car for the day through our hotel so that we could see both Tulum and Coba in one day. The drive from Tulum is easy. The road is nice and you can get a view of some of small communities along the way. You... More

It is a must see. Unlike Chitchen Itza which was carefully restored, Coba ruins seemed to remained as they once were. The climb up to the top of the pyramid was unforgettable.

I've road tripped around the archaeological zones of the Yucatan several times--been to all the big name ones--and this place would be my #1 recommendation for visitors to the region. It's relatively easy to get to from Cancun airport (a few hours away on a highway); it's a big complex with many different kinds of buildings; and it's got a... More

Rent the bicycles. They are inexpensive and a lot of fun! We had a blast exploring on our own and climbing on everything! This was our least expensive and most fun day in Quintana Roo! ...in USD gas $25.23 parking $3.36 admission (for 2) $9.59 bicycle rental (for 2) $5.89 total $44.07

Before we visited Coba, we went to Chichen Itza. We thought this place will have modern tourism facilities just like in Chichen Itza such as ATM machines, so we didn't bring enough cash to get a 75-minute tour guide. The 45 minute tour was actually good enough, to my liking. The 75-minute tour would cover the whole area, including the... More

Rent a bike for M$70, otherwise you'll be hot, sweaty, tired and grumpy at one of the best Mayan sites in the world.
