Fantastic, worth every cent!! A must when visiting the south of mexico, the lake is beautiful, the experiences you can have in the area are great, plus you get to relax just swimming with a view

Make no mistake, this is still a town built for tourism but very low-key. Nobody is accosting you on the sidewalks to buy their sailing tours, and it's not a crazy party atmosphere. There are...

Beautiful place, they conserve the area with closing the lagoon on Wednesday. I recommend to go on a tour with a sailboat to preserve even more the lagoon.

That's really hidden gem of Mexico. It is not so crowdy, maybe cause its kinda far from tourist places. Much better then Tulum! And even more cheaper! The Lagoon is so, so so amazing!!! The colour is unbelievable. Also the Lagoon is not deep at all so you can swim as you want.

Bacalar Lagoon is as breathtaking in real life as it is in pictures. I have a feeling it’s going to explode in tourism soon, so go before it does!
