Visit two of the region’s most compelling Maya sites—Tulum’s seaside ruins and Coba’s Nohoch Muul—then cool off in a cenote and enjoy a traditional buffet. This full‑day tour pairs guided history with free time for independent exploration.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the air‑conditioned shuttle into heat that the Caribbean nudges up against like a living wall—salt on the breeze, palms stirring overhead. The first walk takes you through the low scrub around Tulum’s cliffside ruins where the sea hovers below, then the tour moves inland into the cooling green toward Coba’s broad plaza and the stairs of Nohoch Muul.
