Viator Exclusive: Early Access to Coba Ruins from Playa del Carmen

About this experience

If you want to visit two of the most iconic ruins in Quintana Roo, swim in a cenote, and taste a typical Mexican buffet lunch, this is your tour!

Head to Cobá early in the morning to visit this awesome place before the crowds arrive. This ancient Mayan city was placed near 5 lakes that were crucial for its development between 300 and 100 b.C. Learn about its history and the people who inhabited this magical place.

Visit Chichén Itzá, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. There, your guide will give you all the information needed to get you immersed in the Mayan Culture and the mysteries of this archeological site. Then you’ll have free time to explore it on your own.

After admiring the views, enjoy a typical Mexican buffet lunch (included in the price if you select this option). The next stop will be at the Cenote Chichi Kan, where you’ll be able to swim and relax right next to its impressive waterfall. To end the trip, you'll enjoy a quick panoramic visit to Valladolid
