    Bacalar is a lagoon with 7 colors of blue and we really enjoyed discover it. This place is very relaxing. We could swim in the lagoon several times during our boat trip. We had a great lunch at the restaurant.

    Bacalar was on our list of things to not miss once in Mexico and we were impressed by this place! We can indeed see a lot of different shades of blue in the lagoon. The boat trip was great as we visited several cenotes and stopped to swim in the crystal clear water.
