Laguna Bacalar
The crystal-clear Laguna Bacalar, which is more than 60 kilometers long and has a bottom of sparkling white sand, offers opportunities for camping, swimming, kayaking, and simply lazing around amid a color palette of blues, greens, and shimmering whites - as if you've left real life behind and stepped into a filter-perfect world.
The little and tranquil town has enough tourism to offer things to do and places to eat, but let's be honest: the quiet opportunity to absorb in all the beauty is what draws people here.
Rancho Encantado is the place to live out your cabana-over-turquoise-water fantasies. A typical day at this beautiful hotel includes waking up, having breakfast on the lagoon, kayaking or swimming in calm, transparent waters, and relaxing in the Jacuzzi.
