Destination

Bacalar

The Lagoon of Seven Colors

Bacalar's lagoon is fresh water filtered through limestone, producing bands of turquoise, jade and deep blue. It's quiet, deeply relaxing, and home to stromatolites — living rock formations among the oldest life on the planet.

Best experienced by private sailboat at sunrise. We pair Bacalar with Mahahual or a Tulum base for a perfect southern loop.
