Muyil Ruins

Ruins to the south of Tulum are quiet and impressive, surrounded by jungle with a nice walking path that winds through the ruins and leads to a lagoon in the back.

Coba Ruins

GO SEE THE COBA RUINS ON A BIKE AND VISIT THE NEARBY SUBTERREAN CENOTES
The Coba ruins are about a 45-minute drive from Tulum, headed west into the jungle. One of the largest Mayan cities on the entire Yucatan Peninsula, it’s an impressive ruins site and large enough to ride on bikes through the jungle. Readily available and for rent ($50 pesos in 2018) near the entrance to the park, we also recommend getting a guide to ride with you!

After the ruins, you can cool off at the nearby cenotes, just a few more miles up the road. There are 3 in all, Tamcach-Ha, Choo-Ha and Multum-Ha, and they are all subterranean, deep and impressive. One of the cenotes has a couple diving platforms to leap from, if you are brave enough. One of them is over 30 feet!

Punta Laguna Monkey Preserve

Thu, 25 Feb 2021 16:06:13 +0000

Hike though an old growth jungle forest and see and hear wild monkeys!

You can also rent a canoe and paddle the lagoon and they have a zip-line too!

IMPORTANT TIP!!

Monkeys are most active in the twilight hours, very early morning or sunset is the best time to see and hear them.

To get to Punta Laguna, head towards Coba and make a right, instead of left at the big roundabout. Once you make the right, it’s another 12 miles / 20K to get to the entrance to the reserve. Go early in the morning or early in the evening for the best time to see wild Spider and Howler monkeys.

Entry to the reserve is $150 pesos per person, but that can change anytime. We highly recommend getting a guide when you arrive, guides will range from $300-$500 pesos. They will take you through the old growth jungle forest and lead you to the monkeys. There is also a beautiful lagoon in the reserve that you can paddle a canoe around. They also have a couple zip lines that go over the lagoon and surrounding jungle. This is a fabulous place to see monkeys in their natural habitat. Bring your camera!
