Guide To Visiting Bacalar Lagoon In Mexico

With turquoise blue color, Eco-friendly hotels, and adorable hammocks hanging over the water you could call Bacalar the Maldives of Mexico.

Not many international travelers know about Bacalar and even though we spent almost 6 months in Mexico searching for unique places to visit, rarely anyone mentioned Bacalar Lagoon.

Where Is Bacalar Located

Bacalar Lagoon is located in the Quintana Roo State, which is part of Eastern Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula.
