What our travelers think about their stay

Virginie Bigeni

Seasoned Traveller

Coba is a major archaeological site left behind by the Mayan civilisation. Like Chichen Itza, it is located on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, and its history is just as mysterious as the latter site. Coba is, however, a much wilder place.

My suggestion

The site itself is very vast. Some opt to navigate the little paths cut through the rainforest on foot. But beware: it's a very long walk! Others employ the services of a porter, and yet others choose to hire a bicycle. I recommend the latter of these options.

My suggestion

The area is immense but there is plenty of shade, although it is very hot. You can also rent a bike to get to the big pyramid, 2 km from the entrance, which is an unusual way to visit!
