Don't let the rickety, kind of worn down look of the entrance place put you off. It is definitely worth a visit. The guide knew his stuff and we had a great time learning about the animals and plant life. We saw everything from a 600-year-old tree and leaf cutter ants to families of spider monkeys including some babies, and... more

My family just completed a three tour of the Yucatan and visiting the Punta Laguna Reserve was a true highlight. This is a MUST for kids. The Reserve is about 15 miles from the Coba ruins round-about and it's best to go early. We took a hike into the reserve with one of the organizer's of the town's cooperative charged... more

Awesome!

My husband and I had an awesome experience! Our guide told us all about his family, community, and history, and he tolerate and answered all of our thousands of questions. I definately recommend one of the local guides (sorry, but I can't remember our guide's name). The guides were in a house/hut just as you enter the reserve and the... more

After missing the turn and making a 40 km detour, we figured out where we needed to be and made the drive in from the Coba roundabout. Don't let that scare you, it was me using a three week old memory of a map in a guidebook, instead of opening it on the way. It really is easy to find.... more

We checked out Punta Laguna on the advice of a friend and were so glad we made the time to visit! We went after spending the morning at the Coba ruins, so it was extremely hot and humid by the time we got there. I think it was about $40 for 4 of us with a guide. Our guide was... more

If you love animals and do nothing else, please make a trip to the Punta Laguna reserve. Not only are you helping to preserve the Yucatan subspecies of the Spider Monkey, but you are contributing to the Mayan family that saw fit to create this preserve. This was a wonderful experience. I rented a car in Playa Del Carmen and... more

My husband and I visited Punta Laguna a few days ago after a trip to Coba. We got there about 11am which isn't the best time to spot the monkeys - apparently early morning or late afternoon is prime primate time. It costs about $28 dollars for entrance for two people and a guide, most speak some English, although obviously... more

We booked a day tour to Coba and Punta Laguna with AGI Tours. Our guide was wonderful. We spent several hours at Coba and then went on to Punta Laguna. I wanted to see the spider monkeys. After only a short walk into the jungle we heard the sound of monkeys crashing through the treetops and swinging on vines. We... more

Punta Laguna is approx 10 km from the Coba ruins to the north. I use Coba as a marker only because everyone knows how to send you to Coba.... more

C'est un peu en dehors des sentiers battus. C'est surtout un endroit authentique où vous pourrez admirer des singes araignées... more
