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.

Bacalar Town

Cenote Azul is a natural swimming hole just outside of Bacalar town. The cenote is known for its crystal-clear blue waters, which are surrounded by lush vegetation and towering trees. The water is also quite deep, making it a great spot for diving and snorkeling.

One unique feature of Cenote Azul is that it is actually part of a larger system of underground rivers and caves that run throughout the Yucatan Peninsula. The cenote is connected to several other nearby cenotes, which means that you can explore the entire network of underground waterways if you are an experienced diver and feeling adventurous.

You can access the cenote via a series of wooden platforms and stairs that lead down to the water's edge. There are also several small restaurants and food stands nearby where visitors can grab a bite to eat or a refreshing drink.

Cenote Azul

Bacalar Lagoon is a unique, crystal-clear freshwater lake with all kinds of hues of blue – from dark turquoise to sandy-clear blue, similar to those you can find in the Maldives. Some even call this lagoon the “Maldives of Mexico”.

You can swim, snorkel, kayak, and paddleboard in the lagoon, but we recommend taking a boat tour to truly appreciate the beauty of this place by exploring its various channels and also learning about its history and ecology. Check out our vetted recommendations in the links section.

Holbox Island is a small, secluded, car-free island that offers pristine beaches, clear turquoise waters, a laid-back atmosphere, and amazing stays, making it a great option for a peaceful and relaxing escape.

If you are exploring the entire peninsula, we recommend spending a relaxing day here, maybe even staying overnight before heading back to Cancun Airport. Isla Holbox is also a great, off-the-beaten-path option for a dedicated long-weekend escape.

The island's beautiful beaches offer opportunities for swimming, sunbathing, and snorkeling. The island is also home to a small fishing village, where you can experience local culture and cuisine. There are a variety of restaurants and cafes on the island serving fresh seafood and other local specialties.

Overall, Holbox Island is a unique and beautiful destination that offers a little something for everyone.

The pink lakes of Las Coloradas are quite a spectacle in the proper weather conditions, getting their vibrant colors from the pink-colored bacteria, brine shrimp, and algae in the water. It’s become quite popular over the last few years, mostly fueled by picture-perfect Instagram photos.

But along with the lakes becoming famous, the owners started employing various tricks to make people pay a steep price for the “experience”, the move considered by many locals unethical. If you do wish to see these lakes, we recommend either discussing it with your guide on a Ria Lagartos boat tour (that you are most likely doing earlier in the day) or driving to Las Coloradas and purchasing tickets directly from the owners.

Las Coloradas

Discover the remarkable beauty and diversity of the Ria Lagartos Bio Reserve which is home to Mexico’s largest flock of Flamingos, along with thousands of other species. The boat trips are the only way to explore the preserve, so we recommend booking a private boat tour with experienced nature guides.

The tours usually consist of navigating deep into the mangroves, seeing many species of birds, crocodiles, and occasionally mammals, visiting the feeding grounds of the flamingos, and optional stops for beautiful beaches and mud baths. Check the links section for our vetted local vendor options.

Tulum is a beautiful coastal town along the Caribbean Sea and is most famous for its stunning white-sand beaches, boutique hotels, world-class cuisine, and most important – laid-back bohemian vibes.

Every accommodation from our list of curated stays is beach-front and provides amazing opportunities to relax and sink in the turquoise blues of the Caribbean.

Depending on your preferred hotel, you can enjoy world-class on-site restaurants, Mayan-inspired massages, yoga, and many other activities. The best part is you can participate in these activities on the day of arrival, before even checking in to your room. Meditate, read, listen to music, or make new friends – whatever you feel like.

If you feel more adventurous there's plenty to explore around the village. The Tulum Ruins, a well-preserved ancient Mayan city, are perched atop a cliff overlooking the Caribbean Sea. There are many beautiful cenotes, which are natural swimming holes that are unique to the Yucatan Peninsula. These cenotes are perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and diving.

And there's Sian Ka’an – an enormous and unique biosphere reserve with thick jungles, blue lagoons, Mayan-built canals where you can float, and a record number of beautiful unique species.

Catch Tulum Vibes

The cenote features a large pool of water with several smaller pools and underwater caves for exploration. Snorkelers and divers can swim among schools of fish and observe the unique underwater rock formations. You can also take a break from swimming and relax on the benches or explore the surrounding jungle.

If you want a hassle-free snorkeling or diving experience – check out our vetted tours from Tulum in the links section (both group and private).

Cenotes are unique to the Yucatán peninsula with the name "cenote" coming from the Mayan word "dzonot" which means "well". Cenotes were considered sacred by the ancient Mayan people and were used for both ceremonial and practical purposes such as a source of drinking water.

Gran Cenote

A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987, Mayan for “a place where heaven begins”, Sian Ka’an is an enormous and quite unique biosphere reserve. It consists of a thick jungle, blue lagoons, and Mayan-built canals, and boasts a record number of unique species.

There are two distinct ways of exploring this unique reserve. The oceanic side with beaches and saltwater lagoons can be accessed via Punta Allen. And the jungle side with Mayan ruins, freshwater lagoons, and wetlands can be accessed via Muyil. 

We recommend exploring the jungle side of Sian Ka’an on a four-hour tour that takes you to an off-the-beaten-track Mayan site, a boat tour of the lagoons, watching wildlife, and floating in a lazy river.

If you are driving further down to Bacalar after your Sian Ka'an tour, we recommend declining the hotel pickup/dropoff in Tulum and arriving straight at the Muyil parking lot. This will give you some significant time back.

Sian Ka’an & Muyil Site

This 13th-century Mayan archaeological site has a pretty unique setup combining remains of an ancient Mayan city with the beach and Caribbean sea as its backdrop.

We recommend arriving early in the morning, ideally right at opening (8:00 am), to avoid crowds or being exposed to the scorching sun later in the morning. Starting early is also essential if you want to visit Sian Ka’an Preserve on the same day.

Tulum Ruins

The platform is now a bit underwater due to the hurricanes of 2020, but the water levels are slowly coming back. We recommend visiting it either at the opening at 9:00 am or late in the afternoon after 3 pm to avoid crowds. The sunbeam is also strongest in the afternoon.

A massive Chichén Itzá Pyramid (or El Castillo or Temple of Kukulcan) is the most astonishing Mayan ruin inside the archaeological site.

El Castillo has also recently become one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, making it quite popular among tourists. So we recommend arriving as early in the day as possible to avoid crowds (doors open at 8:00 am).

The site also contains numerous stelae (stone monuments) and altars that depict scenes from Maya mythology and history. You can climb the Acropolis and explore the other structures at the site, and it is unique to more crowded Mayan sights.

One of the most unique features of Ek Balam is the well-preserved stucco friezes that decorate the walls of several of the structures. The friezes depict various scenes from Maya mythology and daily life, and are notable for their intricate detail and vibrant colors.

Ek Balam

One of the most beautiful and charismatic colonial cities in Mexico, Valladolid features vibrant streets, refreshing cenotes, amazing restaurants, cozy parks, and some unique experiences like the Coqui Coqui spa.
