The activity was incredible. Rocio was a great guide, and everything was explained very well. Although it was a long road trip, they should improve the transportation, as we were a bit uncomfortable on the way, and not just us. Thank you.

Description

The Bacalar Lake, known as the Lagoon of the Seven Colors, because of the varying shades of its water, is one of the natural treasures of the Yucatan. Let this beautiful natural paradise seduce your senses when you take this fantastic trip from Riviera Maya.

Bacalar Lagoon Day Trip

After picking you up from your hotel, we'll head towards the shores of Bacalar Lake, which is known as the "lagoon of the seven colors" due to the contrasting tones of its water.

We'll board the bus and before you know it we'll arrive at the picturesque village of Bacalar. Here, we'll board a boat for a peaceful ride on the Bacalar Lagoon. We'll see the emblematic stromatolites of Bacalar, mineral formations very similar to reefs that have natural properties, including skin exfoliation.

We'll visit Pirate's Canal and you'll have free time to take a dip in the clear waters of the lagoon, and we'll also refresh ourselves in the nearby Cenote Negro. You'll find out why it's called the lake of 7 colours.

Our next stop will be San Felipe Fort: a fortress built during the conflict with the English in the 18th century. You'll be treated to stunning views of Bacalar. Then, we'll head to Isla Pájaros, our final place to relax on the island. We'll be surrounded by flying birds. It's a paradise with calming water and natural enchantment.

Finally, after a 13-hour tour of Bacalar, we'll return to your hotel.
