Coba Ruins, Punta Laguna Nature Reserve, Cenote and Mayan family

We absolutely loved this tour, it felt far less touristy than many others we did. While Chichen Itza is awe-inspiring, Cobá was our favourite ruins site. Set deep in the jungle, it has a completely different atmosphere. On arrival, we hired bikes and cycled through the jungle to reach the main pyramid. The climb to the top is manageable, and the views over the jungle are incredible. Being able to climb the pyramid made the experience even more special. We then cycled back, stopping at other ruins along the way where Joseline gave fantastic and informative talks. Afterwards, we headed to Punta Laguna. The reserve is quite remote, passing through smaller Mayan villages which were lovely to see. Once there, a guide took us to spot a family of spider monkeys in the jungle. We then hiked to a zip line and flew across the lake, followed by a peaceful canoe ride back. Next was a cenote well off the beaten path, surrounded by nature. It felt incredibly tranquil, we even shared the space with bats, terrapins, and catfish while swimming. It was a truly relaxing and unique experience. We finished with lunch hosted by a Mayan family, who prepared fresh and delicious food. It was a special experience to be welcomed into their space. Joseline was a fantastic guide, passionate, knowledgeable, and clearly enthusiastic about Mexican nature and Mayan culture. Manuel was an excellent driver, expertly navigating some very rough roads. We would wholeheartedly recommend this tour.
