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.

What our travellers think of their stay
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.
One of the most important Mayan archaeological sites in Yucatan, on the north of the peninsula, surrounded by luxuriant vegetation.
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!
