Energetic cultural expedition in Mayan jungle

Action packed and very worth it! The jungle tour and the Coba ruins were amazing, high octane fun. Prepare well for this trip as it is hot and energetic! Apart from the activities, the tour provides a lot of insight into Mayan culture, with visits to Mayan families and lots of info from the guides. Also the cenote visited is quiet, chill and you will likely have it to yourselves! The length of the day is spot on, as soon as you start feeling tired it is time to go home Our tour guide (I believe her name was lily?) was excellent, highly personable, easy going and knowledgeable about the Mayan way of life. Be sure to ask many questions.

Great tour of Coba led by...

Great tour of Coba led by guide Iber. If you get a chance this is worth visiting whilst staying in Quintana Roo.

Trip of a Lifetime

Absolutely the most incredible tour with multiple awesome experiences. Coba ruins are awesome, you can climb one of the temples, but there's practically a whole city there to explore, and it's quiet, shady, very nice. We got to bike in there,too which was a surprise but definitely beat walking! We got a welcoming blessing ceremony by a Mayan elder and then to see wild spider and howler monkeys up close which was incredible and then zip lined and canoed across a beautiful lake. Then we swam in an incredible cenote which was beautiful and mysterious and only the few of us on the tour. Finally we had lunch with Mayan household that also runs a wildlife sanctuary where they show you the animals (and can even pet a few, my daughter was totally smitten with the faun, of course. And our guide, Santiago was totally chill and very knowledgeable and able to help people in 5 different languages, perhaps overqualified for the job,but we were really grateful for him. They managed to pick us up from the hotel in PDC and drop us at the ferry for our next leg. All in all worth every cent, an unforgettable trip!
