When to visit

The best time to visit Coba is during the dry season, which runs from November to April. During this time, the weather is warm and sunny, making it ideal for exploring the ruins and enjoying outdoor activities. The rainy season, from May to October, can be hot and humid, with frequent afternoon showers. It is still possible to visit during this time, but be prepared for wet conditions.

Getting around

Getting around Coba is relatively easy. The site is spread out, so comfortable walking shoes are recommended. Bicycles are available for rent at the entrance, allowing visitors to explore the ruins at their own pace. There are also guided tours available, providing informative commentary and insights into the history of the site. Taxis and private transportation options are also available for those who prefer not to walk or bike.

Traveller tips

Bring sunscreen and insect repellent, as you will be spending a lot of time outdoors in the jungle. Don't forget to bring plenty of water, as it can get hot and humid. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes, as there is a lot of walking involved. Take your time exploring the ruins and soak in the history and beauty of the site. Consider visiting early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid crowds and the hottest part of the day.
