Tulum
Coba sits only about 45 minutes inland, and these are the trips I recommend for doing it from Tulum. You explore by bike or pedicab under genuine jungle canopy, a complete change from Tulum’s exposed cliff site. The pyramid climb is closed these days; the swimming cenotes nearby more than fill the gap.
Trek through the ancient wonders of Tulum and Coba on a full-day tour filled with history and adventure, uncovering hidden gems that will leave you in awe.
Most Popular★ 4.3“Really great trip and excursion, highly recommend it and the price was great with what you get. Probably less time in Tulum as it was so hot and more time in the cenope to explore and swim in but would do it again.”
