Start early to beat heat
Departures begin in the morning; cooler hours make the ruins and the climb up Nohoch Muul much more comfortable.
Bring swimwear and a quick-dry towel
Cenote swims are a highlight — pack lightweight swimwear and a towel that dries fast to avoid soggy gear for the drive back.
Wear closed-toe shoes with grip
Trails at Coba and the uneven stones at Tulum call for stable footwear rather than flip-flops.
Carry small cash for lockers and vendors
Bring pesos for locker rentals, snacks, and local crafts in Playa del Carmen where card acceptance can vary.
Sturdy walking shoes
Provides traction on packed dirt, stone paths and the steps of Coba’s pyramid.
Swimwear and quick-dry towel
Necessary for the cenote swim and useful year-round in warm seasons.
