Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

The ancient Mayan city of Coba experienced its heyday during the 7th to 9th centuries, and it has lain abandoned since the mid-16th century, at around the same time that the Spanish conquered the Mexican peninsula, but centuries of disuse doesn’t make this site any less fascinating.

It’s less popular than other Mayan sites like Chichen Itza, and its placement in the middle of the jungle lends it an air of fresh discovery to visitors. Located about an hour and a half’s drive from Cancun, the ruins of the ancient city of Coba have several pyramids, which visitors can climb to achieve gorgeous views of the ruins from above as well as the surrounding jungle greenery.
