From $214Archaeological Tours in Tulum
Showing 17 activities · Sorted by traveler rating
The Riviera Maya holds some of the most important archaeological sites in the Americas, and Tulum is the perfect base to reach them. The walled city of Tulum sits dramatically on a cliff above the Caribbean, the only major Maya site built right on the coast. Inland, Coba hides a tall pyramid you can still climb, surrounded by jungle and reachable by rented bike along ancient roads. Further west, Chichen Itza, one of the New Seven Wonders, is a popular full-day trip usually combined with a cenote and the colonial town of Valladolid. Guided ruins tours add the historical context that signs alone do not, and most include transport, entrance fees and a local archaeologist or historian. The tours below are ranked by traveler rating and value.

From $129Frequently Asked Questions
- Can you still climb the pyramids?
- You can climb the Nohoch Mul pyramid at Coba, one of the few tall Maya pyramids still open to climbers. Climbing at Chichen Itza and the Tulum ruins is no longer allowed to protect the structures.
- What time should I visit the Tulum ruins?
- Go right at opening, around 8 am, or late afternoon. Midday brings the largest cruise crowds and the strongest sun, and there is very little shade on the clifftop site.
