The town of Bacalar is located on the west shore of the lake and adds coziness to this marvel of nature. We recommend spending a day or two exploring the Bacalar area. We prefer to relax whenever we visit the lagoon, but there’s a ton to do here as well.

Start with spending time in a unique hotel facing the lagoon and watching how those shades of blue are changing throughout the day. Then hop on a half-day boat tour and visit some remote features of the lagoon.

And of course, stroll through the authentic town and get some food. We also encourage you to visit Bacalar while it’s still considered off the beaten path compared to Tulum or Valladolid. Its nature is still untouched, and the town feels much more authentic.
