Coba

The city of Coba is one of the most impressive Mayan vestiges, and visiting is undoubtedly one of the best things to do in Tulum. Located only a 60-minute ride from Wakax Hacienda, you’ll have the opportunity to visit the enormous Nohoch Mul temple. There are a lot of cenotes in the surroundings that you can visit for a refreshing dip.

Chichen Itzá

Chichén Itzá is the most famous archaeological site of the Mayan civilization. Its beautiful constructions, crowned by the grand temple of Kukulkan, make this place worth being nominated as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
