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.
About Richard Griffith
My first independent travel experience was a trip to Israel, in 1997, it was here that I caught the 'travel' bug! In 2001 I took an 8-month sabbatical and traveled around South East Asia. Since then I have managed to visit most of Eastern Europe along with India, Bangladesh, and a few other destinations in between. I love travel and I love meeting new people.
