Tulum/Coba Mayan Ruins (mainland)

Service Description

Tulum and Coba: A Cozumel Concierge favorite, visit the best of both worlds!! See Tulum and Coba in the same day! Tulum is the only Mayan city on the seashore. It was the central distribution point for goods coming from trade to be distributed throughout the Yucatan Peninsula. After Tulum you will be taken to Coba which is still being uncovered. Archeologists believe that Coba may be the largest site yet discovered in the Mayas. It is also the home to the tallest pyramid in all of the Mayas; "The Nohoch-Mul", with 122 steps! Mayans could see the rainforest and four lakes. Also feel the energy of the awesome place and learn about this ancient culture. Coba is unique in that the ancient structures still lay in their primitive jungle setting. Walk along its dirt paths to discover yet another amazing structure through a clearing of trees. Hear birds chirping and enjoy the serene, pristine atmosphere that the Mayas once enjoyed. Unlike Tulum, Coba up to this point, has not been publicized. But make no mistake, Coba’s jungle setting is a must see. Here is Coba's Virtual Tour! (Please note that climbing on the ruins is not permitted to keep them intact). Tulum Express: Discover one of the most beautiful Mayan cities, the only one that overlooks the marvelous Caribbean Sea. Tulum has 60 structures that dot this Post Classic archeological park. “El Castillo” is the most important; located on a 40-feet bluff, it commands a breathtaking view of the coastline. At one time El Castillo functioned as a lighthouse guiding ships through the treacherous reefs that lie offshore. (Please note that climbing on the ruins is not permitted to keep them intact). Ferry crossing is guest's expense. Guests will be given an exact/easy TOUR GUIDE meeting location near the mainland Playa del Carmen Pier upon disembarkation.
