Kohunlich-Dzibanche Ruins Tour Info:

Our Kohunlich-Dzibanche Ruins Tour visits the ruins of Dzibanche first, and then the ruins of Kohunlich.

The ride from Costa Maya to Dzibanche Ruins takes around 1 hour and 45 minutes. Most of the way the road is fairly new and in perfect conditions, however, the last 30KM the road becomes narrow and during the rainy season it could get a little bumpy.

Total walking distance to see all sections available for visitors in Dzibanche is around 7 blocks.

Once the group leaves Dzibanche the group travels for approximately 30 minutes to Kohunlich for the second part of the tour.

Kohunlich, involves more walking than Dzibanche since some sections could be away from the others. Expect to walk around 2 miles to see all areas open to the public.

This tour is suitable for anyone who enjoys adventure and children are always welcome to join as long as parents are aware of the time it takes to complete this tour. Specially since it involves +4 hours of traveling. At both sites children of all ages enjoy the experience of exploring these old Mayan cities, where it is sometimes possible to observe (or hear) howler monkeys.

It is possible to climb most of the buildings at both sites.

Both sites have clean bathrooms at the entrance. The tour will stop at the service area of each site and from there the group enters the sites for the guided tour.
