LAGUNA BACALAR. Lake of Seven Colors in Mexico.
We spend a day in one of the most beautiful places we’ve ever seen, Laguna Bacalar in Quintana Roo, Mexico! Bacalar is located in the south of Mexico, close to Belize. Bacalar is relatively small and we spend the day biking around the town. We visit a hotel on the Lake called Hotel Aluxes to have lunch and spend some time on their beautiful lake front. We fly our DJI Spark over the Lake of Seven Colors to check out the view from above. We then return to town via our bikes to have some coffee and beer and then do a short tour of our hotel, Toto Blue.

Places featured in the video:
Laguna de Bacalar is also known as the “Lake of Seven Colors” or “Lagoon of Seven Colors,” and for good reason.
The crystal clear waters and white sandy bottom of the lake cause the water color to morph into varying shades of turquoise, blue, and deep indigo throughout the day and in different depths.
This 60-kilometer lagoon (which is often called a lake, but is actually a series of waterways eventually leading to the ocean) once offered passage for pirates and traders seeking their treasure in the form of precious Campeche wood.
These days, the lagoon is more likely to see sunbathers and kayakers. It contains several sizable cenotes — excellent swimming holes — as well as stromatolites, the world’s oldest known fossils. Still, despite its location only four hours south of Cancun, tourists remain sparse.
The Fort of San Felipe was built in 1733 under the order of don Antonio de Figueroa y Silva, field marshal of Yucatan, to protect the Bacalar population from the frequent attacks by pirates from the Caribbean and to defend the region from harassment from the traders in Campeche wood. In the second half of the 19th century, during the so-called War of the Castes, the fortress once again became the scene of skirmishes for the possession of the fortress. It has recently been restored and sits looking over Lake Bacalar in the center of town.
Bacalar is simply a heavenly town that will make you fall in love with its small fishermen’s houses, and which is home to a beautiful turquoise lake and the Uchben Kah Ecotourism Park, where you can swim, snorkel, scuba dive and go out on a boat.
Come to live a unique experience in one of Mexico's Pueblos mágicos; visit Bacalar.

Bacalar-The Most Beautiful Place to Swim in Mexico
Laguna Bacalar is without a doubt, the most beautiful body of water I've ever seen. But first, we visited Casa Cenote near Tulum, where we got to swim with a big ol' Alligator. We then drove 2 hours south to Bacalar and spent 4 amazing days playing in the crystal clear water. Food poisoning on Ali's birthday was a grande bummer, but she rallied and the next day we were back on the water enjoying paradise.

Biking bacalar part 2
Traveling by Bicycle through the coaster Bacalar. Beautiful day with our local guide Deydre.
Mexico | Female solo traveller | Mexico City | Tulum | Bacalar
If you ever get invited to Mexico, SAY YES!
In 2 weeks I visited Mexico-City, Cancun (Chichen Itza), Tulum (Coba), Bacalar, Playa del Carmen and Cozumel. Everything on the east coast was by bus.
I flew to Mexico City where I stayed at my friend’s place for a week. Living like a local in one of the most modern neighbourhoods ‘Condesa’, full with coffee shops, cute bars and food stands on every corner of the street.
After a week it was time to hit the road again, next stop: Cancun, the place to be to party like there is no tomorrow.. or to catch a bus to Chichen Itza. Book your tour through ‘Party Rockers Cancun’ and if Rex is your tour guide, you will learn a lot about the history of one of the seven world wonders.
As Cancun became more popular, people started to travel further down south. Playa del Carmen became popular, followed by Tulum.
Tulum (in my opinion) is a great combination of Bali and Ibiza. Rent a bike and cycle to the cenotes and ruins, go to the city or sip on your cocktail at one of many tropical beach restaurants/bars.
It takes 4 hours and 200 pesos for a bus drive from Tulum to Bacalar. Even worth going for a day. It’s very authentic and more quiet than the cities above. You’ll find complete peace when getting in or onto the water as it’s also known as the Maldives of Mexico.
Last but not least, escaping the busy streets of Playa del Carmen is possible in a few ways. I choose to hop on the ferry with Cozumel as my destination. It’s such small island that a day or 2 is more than enough. Rent a scooter to get around the island or go snorkelling at El Cielo which unfortunately wasn’t possible when I was there because of the wind.
Yes, Mexico is safe! I havent had any trouble during my stay. People are very helpful and kind. But keep your eyes open and don’t be naive, you’ll then have the best experience! Enjoy the culture, food, language and many breathtaking places.
