Insider tips

• ★Arrive early at Cobá to beat crowds and photograph the main pyramid without backlit sun — the site opens around 8am
• ★Bring sturdy footwear and plenty of water; trails between ruins can be muddy and distances are longer than at other Riviera Maya sites
• ★Ask your guide about the carved stone markers (stelae) and hieroglyphic inscriptions — these detail Mayan history better than any museum placard
• ★The cenote is coolest and clearest in early morning; bring a quick-dry towel and waterproof phone bag if you plan to photograph underwater
