At the moment stepped on the top of Cobá, you can own the breathtaking jungle view and realize your climbing is worth. It's one of my favorite ruins in this area. The only complaint is no guides or instructions at Nohoch Mul Pyramid so its not knowledgeable without preview. Recommend to rent a bike at the entry and start your adventure on each path. Riding in the shade is relax and pleasant!

This is our second visit to Coba. We LOVE coming here because it is the only ruin you can still climb. I pray no one gets hurt doing so or they will shut this one down as well. It is very cheap to get in so if you can line up your own transportation do so and save a lot of money. I think it as 70 pesos (4.50 u.s.) to get into the park. Once in RENT A BIKE. The bikes are like $3 but it will save you a ton of time and walking. Plan on being there 1.5 - 2.0 hours. The transportation for some will take longer than the park itself. If you are coming from north of Playa prepare for a long day in the van. Highly recommended.

This was definitely my favorite ruins to visit. I liked that it was in the trees and we could enjoy the shade. We rented the bikes and ride our way through the different ruins. Definitely the way I would do it again. Enjoyed climbing and overlooking the jungle. What a view.

Pretty cool. Nice climb to the pyramid. RENT A BIKE! It's a 20 min walk to the pyramid and another 25-30 to the next place. Bike is 50 peso. With driver 75 one way 150 for an hour.

Too bad we didn't rent one ourselves.

Tour guide is 600 peso, maybe you can get them down to 500. We Didn't take one.

We paid 50 peso for parking (rental car) and 70 peso pr person for entrance. The area is a great site for short hiking trip mostly covered from the sun by trees that have grown over the paths. The distance from the gate to the pyramid where you can climb to the top is about 1,25 km one way. There is also a second location where not so many people go in a different direction, witch give a total distance of about 5,5 km for the whole trip.
Map of the trip is attached, the pyramid is in the right top corner, numbers are kilometer walked.

The climb up the pyramid is steep and the steps are slippery, so use good footwear and bring water plus something to cover yourself with, as there is little shade on the top.

Amazing spot to visit! Parking was reasonably priced, as was entrance fee. The ruins are so fascinating! It's a lot of walking if you want to see everything; several kilometres of walking from one settlement to another. Climbing the pyramid was so cool! Would have been nice to have signage with the history described but I guess you have to pay a guide for information. Bikes for rent for those who don't want to walk. Absolutely recommend visiting.

At the time I visited, 2017, most of the site lies unexcavated. So much so that you are encouraged to rent bikes or a person that will ride the bike for you so that you can get to each structure. I enjoyed the adventure nonetheless. Each structure is only a minute or so down a wide path away. The main attraction was presented to us as the largest excavated monument at the end of the path that you can climb up. The experience is worth the park's admission fee. If you're lucky, you may catch monkeys swinging in the canopy overhead like we did.

Cobá is simply amazing!!!
Worth visiting it.

It is a very impressive archaeological site, home to the tallest pyramid in the Yucatan peninsula (45 meters high) being the second tallest pyramid of the Mayan World.

The site is quite extensive and buildings are far apart, surrounded by thick tropical jungle, there are bike rentals at the entrance to explore the site on your own using well established roads and paths or hire a tricicle driver / guide to transport you.

It is said that buildings were painted red using a natural pigment made out from local seeds called achiote.

This is must experience if you are in the area. It was fantastic trip to the heart of the history. There is a lot of see and as the last thing you are able to climb on the top of the pyramid and be amazed by the view.

Off the beaten path, mostly covered by trees so good on a hot day. They have bicycle taxis if you don't want to walk the whole distance (over 5km total trails). Nice little restaurants and shops in parking lot.

Great experience as you get to wonder through the jungle until you get to another few ruins. You're able to climb the pyramid which has amazing views. We also saw a tarantula making its way across our path. Suggest you go early to avoid the crowds and the heat, and take plenty of mosquitto repellent.

rent the bikes, worth it especially if very hot. no maps or written explanations of what you see, so hiring a guide is necessary if you want to know about what you're looking at. climb the pyramid at your own risk and they mean that. be CAREFUL!!! no horsing around gorgeous view when you reach the top. highly recommend lunch at the restaurant at the entrance, affordable and delicious. they even made me a vegetarian enchilada upon request

Absolutely awesome! The trails offer a scenic escape from the long walk and several stops to look at ruins and old villages. They even offer a rent-a-bike service along with a bike taxi to assist those who otherwise couldn't make the walk. The bikers will also make stops if you want to stop and admire. The giant temple at the end has a rope down the center to assist people climbing the steps. DON'T LOOK DOWN!!! I made that mistake and scared myself into backing out the climb halfway to the top. I hear the view and the breeze is phenomenal!

Amazing chance to see mayan history here. Take a bike ride to the main pyramid, then bravely trek to the top. The last pyramid you can actually Climb. Do it soon before someone falls off and it's closed..

Amazing adventure. You can walk on parts of the ruins and climb up the tallest ruin. It is worth the climb! Coba is less busy then the other well known ruins which makes it peaceful and relaxing. Bring water and good shoes ! They also have bikes and carts to take you from one point to the next.

Great and very large place, where renting a bike or a lift by bike is essential, since the sites are far away from each other. Get lost in some places deeper in the woods and discover a pretty magical place. Never feels crowded since the site is so large.

While the other ruins in the region are certainly impressive, none give quite the same experience as Cobá in the jungle. There is something special about climbing a giant temple, and looking out over endless miles of jungle.

Bikes can be rented for 50 pesos, or a two-person riskja with biker for a bit more. However, if it is not too hot, most of the buildings are well doable on foot.

If possibly, it helps to get there early, before eleven or so when the crowds get a bit much.

Unbelievable! I can't wait to come back here and spend more time. This place was simply paradise. It was super dangerous climbing the rope up to the top of the pyramid, but that was part of the charm. A Mayan must see.
