Tulum and Coba are genuinely different Maya cities, not two versions of the same stop. Tulum's own name is a later Yucatec Maya word for "wall" or "fence," referring to the thick defensive wall still encircling the site -- unusual for a Maya city -- and its likely original name was Zama, "City of Dawn," for the way it faces the sunrise over the Caribbean from its clifftop position. It functioned as a fortified coastal trading port, handling canoe-borne cargo of jade, obsidian, cotton, honey, and cacao, and remained inhabited right up until Spanish contact, making it one of the last great Maya cities still active when Europeans arrived on this coast.
Coba, by contrast, was an inland jungle power center at its height during the Late Classic period, roughly 600-900 AD, with researchers estimating a peak population somewhere between 40,000 and 60,000 people spread across some 80 square kilometers -- among the largest Maya cities ever documented. Large sections of Coba remain genuinely unexcavated, still covered by jungle rather than cleared and restored the way Tulum's compact clifftop site has been, which gives the two stops a very different feel even though both are real, major Maya settlements.
Covering both in a single day works logistically because they're a relatively short drive apart, but the real value is the contrast: a coastal, walled trading port built for defense and commerce on one side, and a sprawling inland jungle metropolis with its own distinct architecture on the other.
