We start at 7.00 in the morning because we want you to be one of the first ones to arrive and enjoy this site intimately, without lines and multitudes, and feel the freshness of the jungle around you. Our local expert will meet you punctually in your lodgment and you should be arriving at Coba around 8.30 am (1.30 hours of transfer from Playa del Carmen, it may vary from other starting points).
We love this site because it’s the only one in Riviera Maya in which you can ride a bike and truly feel and explore the jungle. Coba is an opportunity to reconnect yourself with nature. To reach the main pyramid, you will need to cross 1.2 miles of fresh jungle. Bike, walk or use a Mayan tricycle with driver (what is called a Mayan limousine) through the jungle is a great adventure. The breeze and smell of the jungle, the green color of the trees, the sing of birds and the sight of wild animals will make you feel free and in peace. Without doubt, you will deeply immerse yourself into the Mayan culture.
In Coba you will encounter Mayan steles, traditional ball game courts and small Mayan roads that will enchant you. At the end of the crossing, you will see the pyramid of Nohoch Mul – the tallest in the Yucatan Peninsula. Take your time to recharge your energy and refresh (it’s important to drink a lot of water). When you are ready start your way back through the jungle, at your rhythm, your pace.
Our second stop is Tulum, the only Mayan ruin in front of the Caribbean Sea. Its old name, Zama, means “dawn”, and its current name, Tulum, means “between walls”, so literally your guide will open the doors of these barriers to contemplate the immensity of the Caribbean Sea, where the water flashes in 7 shades of blue that you will see from the viewpoints of the citadel. This is the perfect place to take a picture and share with your friends the beauty of Mexico and its turquoise sea. Again,the visit is at your own pace, no rush and your guide will answer all your questions.
It has been an amazing day and now we want you to relax and refresh. For the last stop you have to choose between 2 options: 1) An open sky cenote in the middle of the jungle, a piscine of crystalline water. 2) A cave that has underground rivers.
