Explore the ancient Maya city of Cobá Archaeological Site, once a major regional center connected by an extensive network of stone roads through the jungle. Guided by a federally certified archaeological guide, travelers learn about Maya urban planning, trade routes, astronomy, and daily life while walking through key areas of the site.

Surrounded by dense vegetation, Cobá offers a quieter and more immersive atmosphere than coastal ruins, allowing for a deeper connection with the landscape and the history it holds. The visit is carefully paced, with clear explanations and time to appreciate the setting.

After the archaeological tour, guests visit a cenote to swim or relax in crystal-clear freshwater in a calm natural environment. The experience concludes with lunch at a local restaurant, featuring authentic regional cuisine served in a relaxed setting.

This private tour is guided in native-level English and designed to balance culture, nature, and comfort throughout the day.

    Zona Arqueologica de Coba

    The tour begins with a guided visit to the Cobá Archaeological Site, an ancient Maya city hidden deep within the jungle. Cobá was once a major political and economic center, connected by an extensive network of stone roads (sacbeob) linking it to other Maya cities across the region. Accompanied by a federally certified archaeological guide, travelers explore key areas of the site while learning about Maya urban planning, trade, astronomy, and daily life. Unlike more crowded sites, Cobá offers a quieter and more immersive atmosphere, allowing visitors to experience the ruins surrounded by dense vegetation much as they existed centuries ago. The visit is carefully paced and guided in native-level English, providing clear explanations and time to appreciate both the archaeological significance of the site and its natural setting.
