The answer to this question could easily be one of the many reasons to visit Coba. As it is strategically located in the heart of the Yucatán Peninsula, surrounded by exuberant jungles and miles away from the Caribbean coast, this destination is the perfect place to visit.
To be more precise, the town of Coba is located in the northwest of the state of Quintana Roo, within the municipality of Tulum. Making it easy to access various forms of entertainment, there is something for everyone!
Here are some reasons that will make this Mayan destination a must for your next adventure.
In Cobá, every corner tells a millenary story. Being an ancestral city that witnessed the splendor of the Mayas, this destination is full of incredible settings.
Here, the ruins of Cobá will transport you back in time. In its majestic pyramids, such as the iconic Nohoch Mul, the highest in the region, you can explore a fascinating cultural legacy and enjoy panoramic views that will take your breath away.
A visit here will make you realize that despite the centuries that separate us, Cobá offers an authentic connection to the region’s history.
If you are looking for calm and tranquility on a trip, then Coba is a great option for you. Due to the fact that it is a relatively small town, it is easy to venture out on a bicycle and get to know every nook and cranny of the destination.
This way you can get to the main lagoon, go to the cenotes, or go to the Cobá Archaeological Zone. Here you can also rent a bicycle and tour the extensive site in a fun and efficient way, immersing yourself in nature and history at your own pace.
As we mentioned in the previous paragraph, another reason why it is worth visiting Coba is that this town is home to stunning cenotes.
And best of all, the closest ones are only 10 minutes away from its majestic ruins. So, after exploring them, don’t hesitate to refresh your body and mind with a dip in these natural pools.
Unlike other tourist destinations in the Riviera Maya, Cobá is a town that offers out-of-the-ordinary experiences, which you will see reflected both inside and in its surroundings.
For example, in the Sanctuary of Uses and Customs of Sahcab Muy, located approximately 30 minutes from the town, you can join Mayan blessings, meet sacred species such as the Mayan bee, or enjoy a musical presentation with hand-carved instruments.
Just as Coba puts hidden communities within reach of travelers, it also offers them the opportunity to enjoy popular destinations such as Tulum and Playa del Carmen. Two cities that have both incredible beaches and vibrant nightlife.
So, if you’re looking to experience a bit of everything, you can’t miss the opportunity to explore these nearby gems. You’ll have the best of both worlds.
Make your trip much more special by taking a piece of the local culture with you. How? … easy, by purchasing souvenirs made by the region’s talented artisans.
From textiles to jewelry, each piece tells a unique story and is the perfect gift to remember your visit to Cobá. Plus, it is not difficult to buy them, as along the way you will find several stalls with local handicrafts.
Another reason to visit Coba, are the wonderful landscapes it offers. Surrounded by the exuberant Mayan jungle, you will be able to enjoy incredible sunrises and sunsets.
