There are places that don't ask for your attention. They take it.
Bacalar is one of them.
Spend a full day exploring the best of Bacalar — cruising the Seven Colors Lagoon aboard a comfortable pontoon, then drifting through Los Rápidos, where a natural current carries you through crystal-clear channels while the jungle watches from both sides.
For those who want to go deeper, Ichkabal awaits — one of Mexico's most recently discovered Maya cities, still untouched by crowds, where a pyramid taller than those of Chichén Itzá rises above an endless green horizon. You'll stand on top of it. You'll understand why the Maya chose this place.
Small group. All entries included. No rushing.
Just Bacalar, as it was meant to be.

    Lago Bacalar (Lake of the Seven Colors)

    Travelers will cruise across the famous Seven Colors Lagoon aboard a comfortable shared pontoon, taking in the shifting shades of turquoise that give Bacalar its name. The boat stops in open water for swimming, and fresh tropical fruit is served on board while you enjoy the scenery at a relaxed pace.

    2 hours Admission ticket included
