Are you looking to explore ancient Mayan ruins beyond the popular Chichén Itzá? Join one of our Coba and Ek Balam tours from Cancun and unlock two of the most incredible — and less crowded — archaeological treasures of the Yucatán Peninsula. These excursions offer not only rich cultural heritage but also thrilling jungle adventures, cenote swimming, and meaningful interactions with local communities.

Nestled deep in the Quintana Roo jungle, Coba was once one of the largest and most powerful Mayan cities. It features a vast network of white limestone roads called sacbé, and the mighty Nohoch Mul — the tallest pyramid in the Yucatán Peninsula — which you can still climb for panoramic views above the treetops.

Many Coba tours include bike rentals, so you can explore the ruins in a fun, eco-friendly way.

Located in the Yucatán state, about 170 km (105 miles) from Cancun, Ek Balam means “Black Jaguar” in Mayan. Its iconic Acropolis temple offers sweeping views of the jungle after a rewarding climb. The site is famous for its incredibly preserved sculptures and carvings — a must-see for history lovers.
