Glide across the 'Lagoon of Seven Colours' where Lake Bacalar's waters shift through impossible shades of blue. Fort San Felipe stands guard over this tranquil paradise, telling tales of pirates through stone walls. Swing in a waterfront hammock after exploring Cenote Negro, where dark waters contrast with the lake's luminescence. The Municipal Spa offers respite from tropical heat, while adventurous souls can paddle to Cenote Azul's crystal depths. Locals recommend sunrise kayaking when the water turns mirror-smooth. For the ultimate experience, hire a wooden boat to visit Cocalitos, where stromatolites—living fossils—form rocky formations in the shallows. Bring underwater shoes; the limestone bottom can be surprisingly sharp.
