About the Mayan Ruins of Playa del Carmen

Chichen Itza - One of the new 7 wonders of the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Chichen Itza is in a league of it's own.  If you only visit one Mayan Ruins site this trip to Playa del Carmen, this should be it.  The tours to Chichen Itza are an incredible value - one of the best deals in Playa del Carmen.

Tulum - The only walled sea port of the Mayan Empire, Tulum is famed for it's beautiful location, perched on a cliff top, 39 feet above the brilliant Caribbean Sea and the white sand beach, noted by National Geographic as the 4th best beach in the world.  This is the one to visit if you're on a cruise ship to Cozumel or Calica.  Often combined with Xel Ha due to it's close proximity.

Coba - The largest of the Mayan Ruins sites of Playa del Carmen.  Still largely uncovered.  You can still climb the 136-foot high great pyramid.  The only ruins site to be in the jungle.  Here you can rent rickshaws to take you around or bicycles.  Very off the beaten track with some great tours that visit it.

Ek Balam - The least visited of the four, not as big but very well preserved.  You can climb the pyramids here.  An excellent Mayan Ruins specimen.  Often combined with tours to Rio Lagartos or Chichen Itza, both of which are nearby.
