Riviera Maya ruins?

Trying to decide which ruins we'd like to visit while on vacation. Any input? Likes/dislikes? As of now I'm leaning towards one that isn't a full day trip but that's not set in stone. Any info is appreciated.

Re: Riviera Maya ruins?

  • Ther are many sites. Which are you looking at? I've been to Cuba tulum chicken it's, ek balam etc...

  • thinking maybe coba or tulum
  • Tulum would be your best bet. Easy to access, on the ocean so not as hot and humid as Chitzen Itza and small enough to walk around in an hour or so. I have been there a few times and have taken half the day to swim in the ocean there or take a half day at Xel Ha. 
  • You can do Tulum and Coba in the same day, but Chichen Itza is a few hours away from RM and is an all day trip. Tulum is awesome because it's right on the beach. Coba is pretty cool too because you can still climb one of the pyramids. It's not fully excavated like some of the others are though. I'd recommend hiriing the guide so you can get the best experience and the most information.

    one is huge one is small. i wouldn't automatically discount doing a full day at coba or chichen itza. they're both more than worth it.

    tulum is ok. the scenery is breathtaking but the site is much smaller you can easily do that in the AM and then hit the beach there for a few hours.

  • We did Tulum & Coba in one combined tour, both completely different ruins though.  Tulum is smallscale but the beach there is a MUST, one of the most beautiful I've been to.  Coba is really cool, lots to see, definitely go with a guide, so interesting, and make sure you climb the tallest pyramid there (if you're not afraid of heights, lol). What a view from the top!

    I'm not familiar with Chitzen Itza but I've heard it's a long drive out there and is a whole day kinda thing.  I think I got my fill of ruins though from Tulum & Coba, that's good enough for me, lol.
