Laguna Bacalar comes as a surprise in this region of scrubby jungle. More than 60km long, this crystal-clear lake offers opportunities for camping, swimming, kayaking and simply lazing around.
It’s noted mostly for its large cenote, old Spanish fortress and popular balnearios (swimming grounds). There’s not a lot else going on, but that’s why people like it here.
Next stage: Xcalak – Scuba Diving.
