• 5Best day in Baccalar ! ☀️

  We had such an amazing day exploring the Lagoon of Seven Colors with Amir! My girlfriend and I really enjoyed every moment of the trip. The lagoon is absolutely beautiful, but what made the experience even better was the great atmosphere Amir created throughout the day. He was super friendly, easygoing and fun to be around, and we felt comfortable from the very beginning. We laughed, relaxed, enjoyed the lagoon and simply had a great time together. Definitely one of our favorite memories from Bacalar and a day we’ll remember for a long time. Thank you Amir for such a great experience! 🙌🌊☀️

• 5Best activity in Bacalar!!!

  I had such a wonderful experience with Amir! I booked the tour with my boyfriend and we were worried that the activity was going to get cancelled because September is the low season but he still took the time and pleasure to show us around the lagoon! The activity is definitely worth your money, Amir is very welcoming and fun to be around with him 🙏🏼

About Bacalar

Bacalar is a quiet lakeside town in Quintana Roo, beside a long freshwater lagoon of shifting blues known as the Lake of Seven Colours.

Bacalar sits on the western shore of a lagoon about forty kilometres long in the south of Quintana Roo, close to the border with Belize. The water, shallow over white sand and deeper in places, shades from pale turquoise to deep blue, giving the lagoon its name, the Lake of Seven Colours. The Fort of San Felipe, built in the eighteenth century to guard the lagoon from pirates, stands above the town square and holds a small museum.
