Laguna Bacalar
Laguna Bacalar is also known as the "lake of seven colors" for its incredible variety of blue shadows. The lake is 50 kilometers long and 2 kilometers wide in a beautiful setting of Mangrove forests. A perfect place to spend a day swimming, windsurfing, canoeing, waterskiing, rowing or bird watching. Along the lake side you will find a lot of little restaurants where you can enjoy local dishes.

Cenote Azul
Some 5 kilometers after passing Bacalar direction Chetumal you will see signs indicating Cenote Azul. A beautiful deep water cavern, its supposedly 150 meters deep in the middle. The water is very clear, and its a good alternative for diving if the Carribean sea is too rough. There is a good open air restaurant on the side, where you will have a beautiful view over the Cenote, and admire all adults as well as kids who jump from the roof of the restaurant into the crystal clear water.

Mayan Zipline Canopy Tour
Another adventurous way to discover the spectacular beauty of the lake of 7 colors. You will "fly" some 35 meters above the tree tops and the lake, covering distances that range from 165 to 825 yards. Sometimes even Macaws are flying with you !

Other tours
There are several tour operators organizing kayak, bicicle and jungle walks around Bacalar.

Combine visit to Lake Bacalar or Cenote Azul with a visit to the Mayan temples of Chacchoben. A perfect day trip !
