It's also called the Lake of Seven Colors, all shades of blue. It's about 2 hours away. The Cenote Azul is incredible beautiful too.

It is about 3 hours drive from Playa but it is totally worth it. Maybe worth spending the night there, but if you leave around 7 am, getting there at 10 is just fine. There are some good local restaurants too.

Bacalar Lagoon is a spectacular water body known for its multiple shades of blue. People traditionally know it as "the 7-colors lagoon".

Know as the lake of 7 colors, go on a sunny day and you'll quickly see why. Enjoy a lunch by the water or take a boat tour of the lagoon.

Laguna Bacalar, or “the lake of seven colors,” is a stunningly beautiful freshwater lake located just over an hour from Mahahual. It is absolutely worth a visit and a boat tour. Most tours last at least 3 hours so plan to spend most of the day in Bacalar. We recommend DayTour Bacalar for a great, all-inclusive tour.
