Travelers will walk through the ancient plazas of one of Mexico's most recently excavated Maya cities, guided by a professional local guide who brings the history to life. The highlight: climbing a massive pyramid that rises higher than those of Chichén Itzá, with panoramic views of uninterrupted jungle stretching to the horizon.

Travelers will cruise across the famous Seven Colors Lagoon aboard a comfortable shared pontoon, taking in the shifting shades of turquoise that give Bacalar its name. The boat stops in open water for swimming, and fresh tropical fruit is served on board while you enjoy the scenery at a relaxed pace.

Travelers will enter a natural canal where a gentle underground current flows through crystal-clear water. Here they can swim and float carried by the current, surrounded by mangroves and jungle on both sides — one of Bacalar's most unique and memorable experiences.
