Lago Bacalar (Lake of the Seven Colors)
The Seven Colors Lagoon is Bacalar’s main attraction and one of the most stunning natural wonders in Quintana Roo. Its name comes from the different shades of blue and turquoise created by varying depths and the reflection of sunlight on the water.
During a two-hour boat tour, you’ll admire this incredible phenomenon and stop to swim in its calm sections, such as the Pirates’ Channel or the cenotes connected to the lagoon. Beyond its breathtaking landscapes, the lagoon offers a serene atmosphere, making it an unforgettable experience in a true natural paradise of the Mexican Caribbean.

Fuerte San Felipe Bacalar
The San Felipe Fort is one of Bacalar’s most important historical landmarks, built in the 18th century to defend the town against pirate attacks. Its thick stone walls and strategic location overlooking the Seven Colors Lagoon give it the appearance of a medieval castle in the Caribbean. Today, the fort houses a museum where visitors can explore maps, artifacts, and exhibits that tell the story of Bacalar’s past, from Mayan settlements to colonial times and the era of piracy. Walking through its walls and enjoying the panoramic views of the lagoon offers a unique combination of history, culture, and breathtaking scenery.
