Nature area

Best to go as part of a sailing tour, this canal was used by the pirates to access the lagoon and attack the town. Super shallow water and beautiful colours, though this place gets very busy in high season!

Sightseeing

San Felipe fort is an important part of Bacalar's history; it was built to defend the town against pirates. Inside there is an interesting museum with the history of Bacalar, and amazing views of the lagoon from the exterior walls.

Ruins and pyramids

These are some of the nearby ruins, and hardly visited by tourists, which means no queues and low prices Worth the visit! Tip: get a local guide to explain the history, it's worth the money and you support the local economy :D

Food scene

One of the best restaurants in Bacalar, everything is cooked on an open fire, sourced locally and beautifully presented This place is a little more expensive than other restaurants but definitely worth it! Plus the garden is pretty and they often have live music

Great variety of tacos, including the best veggie tacos in Bacalar, all with fresh ingredients and home made tortillas (our favs are the cactus and the tempura cauliflower tacos!) Lively in the evening with good bar and music, you won't be disappointed!
