Discover towering pyramids and scattered temples, each bearing silent witness to centuries of Maya history.

Amid the expansive Yucatan jungle, ancient structures rise from the earth as enduring symbols of Maya power and artistry. Climb Nohoch Mul, the tallest pyramid in the region, for panoramic views over the treetops or follow ancient stone roads that once connected temples and ceremonial sites. Explore ball courts where rituals once echoed through the forest and wander among massive ruins that reveal the city’s remarkable scale. Much of this vast site still rests beneath the jungle canopy, inviting curiosity and reflection. The site is open daily from 8 am to 5 pm, but it’s best to check opening hours and ticket information online to ensure a smooth trip: https://www.inah.gob.mx/zonas/515-zona-arqueologica-de-coba

Know more about your day trip

While you can walk everywhere, the site is quite large with structures spread over several kilometers. Bicycles or bike taxis make exploration more comfortable and efficient.
Yes, bicycle rentals and bike taxis are available at the entrance since the ruins are spread across a large area with some structures 2 kilometers apart.
Coba offers a more adventurous, jungle experience with the ability to climb pyramids, while feeling less commercialized and more integrated with its natural environment.
Only about 5% of Coba has been cleared and restored. Much of the site remains hidden under dense jungle vegetation, adding to its mysterious atmosphere.
Coba means "waters stirred by wind" in Maya. It was one of the largest ancient Maya cities, reaching its peak between 500-900 AD with over 50,000 inhabitants.
Early morning visits offer cooler temperatures and fewer crowds. The site opens at 8 AM, making it ideal for beating both the heat and tour groups.
Coba was the center of the largest network of stone roadways (also called sacbes) in the Maya world. Some extended over 100 kilometers to connect distant cities.
Bring plenty of water, insect repellent, comfortable walking shoes, a hat, sunscreen, and a camera. The jungle setting means more bugs and humidity than other sites.
