Insider tips
- ★Start early: Cobá is less crowded in the morning and better for photography before heat peaks
- ★Wear reef-safe sunscreen and bring water shoes for the cenote to protect both your feet and the ecosystem
- ★The climb at Cobá is steep and in intense sun—pace yourself and use the railing; it's worth the effort for the view
- ★Ask your guide about lesser-known temple complexes within each site; they often share insights tourists miss
