Mexico is known around the world for its beautiful beaches, rich history, and vibrant culture. In addition to all this, it has different towns that dazzle and surprise with their particular charm, in a picturesque atmosphere.
On this occasion, we will learn more details about Bacalar, which is very close to Cancun and has nothing to envy of the Maldives.
Bacalar is a small town located in the State of Quintana Roo and located about 40 km north of the capital, Chetumal. Its great attraction is its impressive lagoon of 7 colors that is also identified as “Rainbow Lagoon” for its beautiful shades of crystalline waters. These are the result of the combination of coral diversity and underwater flora.
It is characterized by being shallow and circular in shape, which allows you to swim comfortably without any problem. In its surroundings, there are both private houses and small inns that allow access to the lagoon.
