Overview

Bacalar is home to Mexico's largest and most beautiful lagoon, and one of only a handful of Pueblos Mágicos in Quintana Roo. With its laid-back, low-key charm, it remains one of the most magical — and least crowded — places left in Mexico. Known as the "Lagoon of Seven Colors" for its seven stunning shades of blue, Bacalar is truly one of the country's best-kept secrets. This tour combines rich history, with panoramic views from the Fort of San Felipe, and relaxation at El Mármol Club on the lagoon's shores, including 1 hour of kayaking and full access to the club's amenities.

Afterward, refuel with a delicious breakfast at a charming lakeside restaurant just steps from the cenote — the perfect start to your Bacalar adventure.
  2. 2h · Admission ticket included
    Spend the day at El Mármol, a charming beach club on the shores of Bacalar Lagoon, known for its excellent facilities and relaxed, refreshing atmosphere. Take in breathtaking panoramic views of the lagoon, where varying water depths create a stunning spectrum of blue tones — the reason Bacalar is famously known as the "Lagoon of Seven Colors." Feeling adventurous? Grab a kayak for an hour and explore the lagoon up close, gliding across its calm, crystal-clear waters.
