mrsfuzzmo Posted March 9, 2017 #3 Share Posted March 9, 2017 If you go to the ruins ON Cozumel, yes. They can be bad!! Depends on the weather of course, but be prepared! If you are talking about Tulum, Coba or Chichen on the mainland, then not as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinmike Posted March 9, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Take repellent with you - if you forget, the folks at the entrance will spray you down. . . . for a price. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimicaj Posted March 9, 2017 #5 Share Posted March 9, 2017 There are tons of mosquitos at the ruins in Cozumel and we noticed some at Coba. We had no issues at Tulum or Chichen Itza. There are confirmed cases of Zika in Cozumel according to the CDC website, but you should check the latest updates before you go.

dpcmh Posted March 11, 2017 #6 Share Posted March 11, 2017 The day we went to the ruins was very windy, so we had no problems. We took repellent with us as we had read they were a problem, but we didn't need it on our visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maldenmusic Posted March 13, 2017 #7 Share Posted March 13, 2017 The only place we've encountered mosquitos on Coz was at the ruins and they were terrible. Be prepared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
