Скачать или смотреть LAGUNA BACALAR Boat Tour [Lake of Seven Colors] Mexico 2019

Looking for paradise on earth, without the heavy tourist footprint? Laguna Bacalar should top your list. It's no wonder why they call it Lake of Seven Colors!

Located in the state of Quintana Roo, crystal clear Laguna Bacalar, or Lake of Seven Colors, is approximately 42 km long and under 2 km at its widest.

The Laguna Bacalar is fed by underground rivers and this creates sinkholes when the limestone bedrock collapses, these are called cenotes. The Yucatan peninsula is famous for its cenotes and huge subterranean water tunnel system.

The Laguna Bacalar is best explored by kayak or by going on a boat tour. If you are lucky, the tour will give you an opportunity to dive in a cenote so you can explore the floor of the lake.

So why do we see these seven colors in the first place? Those collapsed limestone bedrocks I mentioned earlier disintegrate and the limestone dust covers the bottom of the lake. This white sand shows of various shades of blue depending on the depth at any given spot on the lake.

Laguna Bacalar truly is a secret paradise not know by many. The remote location has kept it resort free and the only tourists that come are backpackers and adventure travelers. You can get here by flying into Chetumal airport and then take a taxi to the town of Bacalar.

Hostels, cheap hotels, and Airbnb abound. All beaches are private and have a small entrance fee unless you are one of the lucky few to own a private villa on the lake shore.

This is Mayan country and as Miguel explained the Mayan culture is still strong in this part of Mexico. If you get tired of rest, relaxation, and frolicking in the gorgeous blue waters, there are a few small Mayan ruins to explore in the nearby countryside.

We are budget travelers after all so let's get a free spa treatment by slathering our bodies with the mineral-rich clay like sand. Just apply everywhere, let it dry and rinse off. So fun you can almost ignore the sulfur scent in the air. And it really did make the skin feel softer to the touch.

Make sure to explore the cement pirate ship before heading back to the boat. We booked our tour at the Kai Pez restaurant in town. The food here was really good, check out our meal here in my where to eat in Bacalar video linked above.

Laguna Bacalar is my closest experience to a tropical paradise on earth. It is rare to find such a gorgeous off the beaten path destination that's pretty much untouched by heavy tourism. Hopefully, it will stay that way for years to come.
