Culture and adventure go together perfectly on this tour. Start with a visit to the archaeological site of Coba. You'll have free time to explore and even climb Nohoch Mul, the tallest Mayan pyramid in the Yucatan Peninsula. Then, head to Rio Secreto Nature Reserve. End the afternoon treading and swim through a unique system of underground rivers and ancient caverns. Please note, German language tours take place on Fridays, subject to availability.

There was no indication that a bike ride would be needed to cover the Coba Site. For those who can ride a bike, the 80Peso cost was covered in the excursion booking. Since I don't ride a bike, I had to pay the full price of 180Peso/80min for a bike taxi service. There was quite a queue to climb the pyramid, eating into my rental time, and I had to leave the final ball court site without hearing what the guide had to say. A reduction to the taxi cost should also be given.

Would have been nice to do cobs first then the caves. Your guide Aaron was brilliant - lack of air con in the bus was a bit overbearing as it was full and v hot

The driver of the first bus was taciturn and was late with no apology. When we met our guide she did outline the day as we didn’t really know. She was a little hesitant at first but once the tour got underway she was good although with a quiet voice . The blurb needs to say to take swimwear and wet shoes, if you have them but everything else is provided including water and a good lunch.. Overall it was a great trip and I’d really recommend it if you like the natural world, history and culture.

On a aimé la grotte, COBA. Le repas était moyen.

Geweldige ervaring zowel Coba als Rio Secreto. De beste van alle excursies die ik heb gedaan. De Gids (Imelda) was top, wist veel te vertellen en had echt een hart voor haar werk, de Maya cultuur en de grotten van Rio Secreto. Je moet inderdaad geen claustrofobie hebben. Enige minpuntjes: de erg late lunch waardoor we wat gehaast moesten eten om op tijd in het hotel te zijn en het feit dat je zelf geen foto's mocht maken maar moest kopen voor heel veel geld.

Dommage que les photos à Rio secreto soit vendu si cher, buffet moyen, et manque 45mn de plus à Coba nous avons eu l'impression d'être toujours préssé
