Description

Begin your adventure at the fascinating archaeological site of Coba, located in the heart of the jungle of the Yucatan Peninsula. After being picked up at your hotel in Cancun or Riviera Maya, you will be transported in a comfortable air-conditioned van to Coba. Upon arrival, you will find yourself surrounded by lush jungle vegetation, making this archaeological site a unique and tranquil experience away from the crowds. During the tour, a certified bilingual tour guide will lead you along the ancient Mayan trails, explaining the history and cultural significance of the ruins. You will walk along the Sacbé, a sacred road that connected Cobá with other important Mayan cities, discovering stelae and structures that still preserve their majesty. The main attraction of Cobá is the pyramid of Nohoch Mul, the highest in the region, with 42 meters high and 120 steps. Although currently it is not allowed to climb the pyramid, you can admire its impressive size and the panoramic view of the surrounding jungle. The tour is ideal for those who wish to explore an archaeological site in a more relaxed way, with a small group, allowing you to enjoy a more intimate experience. At the end of the tour, you will enjoy a deli-style lunch, along with on-board refreshments such as water, fruit and cookies to replenish your energy. After this enriching tour, you will be transported back to your hotel, closing a day full of Mayan history and culture. This tour is perfect for those interested in immersing themselves in the rich cultural heritage of the region, while enjoying the natural and tranquil beauty of the jungle.
