Embark on a full-day adventure to Bacalar, a hidden gem located 3.5 hours south of Playa del Carmen and just 40 minutes from Chetumal. Discover the mesmerizing hues of the Lagoon of Seven Colors, swim in the crystalline waters of Cenote Azul, and delve into the rich history at the San Felipe Fort. This tour offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage.
The Lagoon of Seven Colors is the heart of Bacalar and one of Mexico’s most breathtaking natural wonders. Its name comes from the stunning shades of blue and turquoise that can be seen across its nearly 42 kilometers, caused by varying depths, sunlight, and the white limestone bottom.
One of the best ways to experience the beauty of this lagoon is by visiting Beach Club Mármol, where you can enjoy direct access to the water, relax by the shore, and take in the incredible views of this natural paradise. From here, you can swim, kayak, or simply admire the ever-changing colors of the lagoon in a serene and stylish setting.
Just minutes from downtown Bacalar, the Cenote Azul is one of the region’s most stunning natural attractions. With a depth of over 90 meters (295 feet) and surrounded by lush jungle vegetation, this open cenote offers a breathtaking setting for both adventure and relaxation.
Its deep, mesmerizing blue waters are perfect for swimming, snorkeling, or simply enjoying the peaceful natural surroundings. Unlike other cenotes in the area, Cenote Azul is not directly connected to the lagoon, giving it a unique and mysterious character.
