Why travel from Cancún International Airport to Bacalar
Bacalar is a freshwater lagoon in southern Quintana Roo, known for its clear water that shifts through shades of blue and turquoise. A private transfer from Cancún Airport to Bacalar saves a long bus connection and puts you on the shore with time to kayak or swim before sunset. Cenote Azul, a deep sinkhole, lies close to town, and a Spanish fort sits above the lagoon. The pace is slow, with lakeside hostels, boutique hotels and sunset boat trips. Sunrise and sunset over the water are the favourite moments of the day.
- Take a boat or kayak trip across the Lake of Seven Colours.
- Swim in Cenote Azul, a deep sinkhole with clear blue water.
