Frequently asked questions about Cobá Riviera Maya Tours

What exactly is Cobá?

Cobá is an astonishing archaeological treasure that gives visitors the chance to explore the traces of the ancient Mayan civilization. This ancient city is known for its impressive pyramids and temples, including the iconic Nohoch Mul Pyramid, one of the tallest in the region.

Cobá is a window into the Mayan past, with a vast network of stone roads called “sacbeob” that connect its various sites, revealing advanced urban planning.

Beyond its historical importance, Cobá also lets you enjoy the natural beauty of the Riviera Maya, with nearby cenotes and lush jungle surrounding the ancient structures.

Where are the Cobá ruins?

The Cobá ruins are located on the Yucatán Peninsula in southeastern Mexico, specifically in the state of Quintana Roo, in the famous Riviera Maya region.

This ancient Mayan city lies about 44 kilometers (27 miles) northwest of the coastal town of Tulum, in the middle of dense tropical jungle.

What’s special about the Cobá pyramid?

Besides its long history, the Nohoch Mul Pyramid in Cobá is the tallest structure of all the ancient Mayan cities on the Yucatán Peninsula, standing even taller than the famous Pyramid of Kukulkán at Chichén Itzá. It reaches an impressive height of about 42 meters (138 feet).

What activities can you do in Cobá?

In Cobá, visitors can enjoy a wide range of exciting and enriching activities, with exploring the ancient Mayan pyramids and temples as the must-do experience.

You can also venture along the stone roads that connect the various archaeological settlements and cool off in local cenotes, such as Cenote Multun-Ha and Cenote Tamcach-Ha, which you can also visit on our tours.

For nature lovers, spotting native wildlife and exploring the jungle are popular activities too, since the area is home to rich biodiversity.

Is Cobá worth visiting on your Riviera Maya trip?

Without a doubt, visiting Cobá on your Riviera Maya trip is well worth it. The Cobá archaeological site tends to be less crowded than other tourist spots in the Riviera Maya, so you can enjoy this pre-Columbian Mayan site in a calmer, more intimate setting.

Contratamos con ellos las excursiones a Isla Mujeres e Isla Contoy, la de Chichén Itzá, Valladolid y cenote de Noolha, y también la de quads con cenotes, y la verdad es que todo fue suuuper bien. Lo pasamos genial en todas, cada una tenía algo diferente y nos llevamos muy buenos recuerdos. Además, estaba todo muy bien organizado y el trato fue muy cercano, así que estuvimos muy a gusto. Nos quedamos muy contentos de haberlas reservado con ellos. ¡Si volvemos a Riviera Maya, repetimos seguro!

We had the best time with this company! From the beginning the communication was so great and they made it so easy to book and listened to our needs as we had 16 people ( four families). Russel and his team took such great care of us on the tour - the ATV ride was so fun and the cenotes were amazing! What was so great is they made it a private tour for our group and we felt it was so personalized. They even made us some food at the end of our tour which was a nice unexpected surprise! We would do this again in a heart beat- it was the highlight of our trip and the coolest cenote experience without all the crowds. Thank you Jesus(Sos) for helping arrange the tour for us and Russell, Sam and the rest of the guides for an incredible day!

¡Experiencia de 10 para nuestro grupo de amigos! Viajamos un grupo de 7 amigos a México y decidimos organizar todas nuestras excursiones con Xplora Riviera. No pudimos haber tomado mejor decisión. Desde el primer momento en que nos pusimos en contacto para planificar el itinerario, la atención, la cercania y la rapidez para resolver cualquier duda fueron impecables. Organizar un viaje para tanta gente no siempre es facil, pero ellos nos lo pusieron facilisimo y todo estuvo pertectamente coordinado de principio a fin. Las excursiones súper completas, puntualidad absoluta en las recogidas, grupos muy bien organizados y guias fantasticos que hicieron que cada día fuera divertidísimo e inolvidable. Nos cuidaron muchísimo durante todo el viaje. Relación calidad-precio inmejorable. Sin duda, si volvemos a México repetiremos con ellos y los recomendamos al 100% a cualquiera que viaje a la zona. ¡Muchisimas gracias por hacer de nuestras vacaciones una experiencia genial!

Hemos reservado muchas de las excursiones de nuestro viaje a México con ellos y sin duda destacaría la buena atención. Hemos tenido un par de malentendidos con las compañías allá, y ellos lo solucionaron al momento. Destaco la amabilidad, buen rollo, cercanía y acompañamiento de Suso. Gracias por unas experiencias inolvidables!
