Among the Crumbling Ruins of Coba
Quote: The ruins at Coba' are hailed as another one of the great Mayan sites and was completely worth the small detour on the road between Tulum and Chichen Itza. Located only 28km northwest of Tulum, this ancient site is a hidden gem among the luscious... Read the full Coba Mayan Ruins review

Quote: The ruins of Coba are only partially uncovered and lie in a vast expanse of jungle. These ruins haven't been completely restored which is what I really enjoyed, it is much less commercial and touristy than Chichen-itza or Tulum. Inside the park you... Read the full Coba Mayan Ruins review

Coba
Quote: This site is huge, thus a word of caution--you will need more time than most tours allocate to this site, or go on your own! Most of this ancient city remains unexcavated, but what is uncovered can be explored on bikes, which can be rented inside... Read the full Coba Mayan Ruins review

Coba
Quote: If you have a bit of time in Mexico, I would highly recommend this day trip. Also, because of all the wonderful little towns you drive through to get to Coba, you get to see how people really live. We met a partially blind man who was carving... Read the full Coba Mayan Ruins review

Quote: Just two hours from Aventura Palace is Coba. Coba is a huge archaeological site. It contains the highest pyramid in the Yucatan. It's a must-see as you walk through the jungle to get there.

Coba
Quote: Coba is a site that is largely unexcavated. While there are some stelae and such set up under palapa roofs, exploring Coba is truly exploring. We hired a guide to show us a couple of the highlights, then spent part of the afternoon wandering around... Read the full Coba Mayan Ruins review

Quote: One place off the beaten track that should be visited is Coba. This is the site of fantastic Mayan ruins, hidden amongst trees and jungle. Perhaps because it is relatively difficult to get to, it is not swamped with tourists in the same way as... Read the full Coba Mayan Ruins review

Coba
Quote: It looks a lot closer on the map than it seems driving, especially when your tiny rental Chevy has no radio or air conditioning. The guide books say its about a 30 minute drive northw est of Tulum, but I’d put it at an hour easy. Turn off Highway... Read the full Coba Mayan Ruins review

  • August 7, 2000
Quote: Coba is not as excavated as other sites in the area, but that is part of its allure. It's quite an extensive site - go with a guide the first time because it can be a little confusing. Jungle trails cross over one another and you don't know where... Read the full Coba Mayan Ruins review
