These raised stone paths, called saucebox connect the buildings of Cobá and also connect it to other Mayan cities. The longest one runs 62 miles (100 kilometers) and reaches the city of Yaxuna.

This tour picked us up from our Hotel and took us to meet our tour guide at a gas station. This was a little weird but we found that all travel in Mexico for excursions is different than what you would expect in the United States. Once we met our tour guide we transferred to another van and continued picking up the rest of the people in the tour group. You are given some cookies, a banana and water for breakfast but I still recommend eating before leaving if you can. Our first stop was Tulum which was an awesome place to visit. Our guide spoke in both English and Spanish and bounced between the two very fluently. He gave us about a 30 minute tour and then gave us about an hour to explore on our own which was fun. The beach was closed due to the very bad seaweed so we skipped that part of the tour. After Tulum we went to the cenote to swim. We had a private cenote for just our tour group in the middle of the jungle which was awesome and we had a lot of fun with the rope swing. Since we didn't do the beach they gave us extra time for swimming here. The buffet lunch was ok with some tacos, spaghetti, and other buffet foods. Our last stop was Coba. At the Coba site, there is some ruins close to the entrance but the climbing site is about a mile and a half hike. They do have bikes you can rent or you can have someone give you a ride for an extra cost. Climbing the Coba site was awesome, and if you are in good shape I highly recommend giving the climb a shot. There is a lot of driving time due to the location of the sights which is just a necessary evil. Overall it was a fun experience.

We had such an amazing time! This was such a good tour. We got a taste of Mayan history, beaches, and the Cenote was so cool! I would recommend this as a fun day trip for everyone staying in Cancun or Playa del Carmen.

The tour was confirmed the afternoon before, and they came at a reasonable time to pick us up the morning of. Our driver was friendly and courteous. Sergio, our tour guide, was awesome. He provided a lot of information of not just the ruins, but the connection between the historical sites. He gave us with enough time to explore and take pictures, and at no time did we feel rushed. He always made sure that everyone was looked after, from waiting for the group to gather, to providing us with cool drinks in between site. He even provided bug spray to those who needed it. Thank you Sergio for making this a memorable one for us!

Amazing tour! Especially if you can get to Tulum before the madness, which we did and it was worth it! We beat a lot of the crowd and some of the heat. While visiting Coba, I'd advise you rent the bikes. Not only does it make your journey through the park easier and faster, it's also a good exercise. Plus, the park is fairly big and if you're on a timed journey, you'll want to spend more time sightseeing than walking. Bike rentals are about 3.

Our guide was incredible, the food at the buffet restaurant was the best we had on our trip which we were all shocked by, and we feel like it was the best 90 we'd spent in a long time. We had 12 people, so got a private tour and bus - thank you for making that happen for us!
