Bacalar is home to Mexico's largest and most beautiful lagoon, and one of only a handful of Pueblos Mágicos in Quintana Roo. With its laid-back, low-key charm, it remains one of the most magical — and least crowded — places left in Mexico. Known as the "Lagoon of Seven Colors" for its seven stunning shades of blue, Bacalar is truly one of the country's best-kept secrets. This tour combines rich history, with panoramic views from the Fort of San Felipe, and relaxation at El Mármol Club on the lagoon's shores, including 1 hour of kayaking and full access to the club's amenities.
