Have you seen the cenotes before? The limestone sink-holes bubbling with gin-clear water in the Mexican jungle?
These pristine water flow into the 'Lake of Seven Colors' (all shades of blue non-surprisingly) - it's on these shores you'll find the town of Bacalar.
A love at first sight kinda spot.
The stylish Fort of San Felipe stands in the centre of town and gives clues to Bacalar's history. The Spanish Fort was built in 1729, a time when piracy of indigo was rife.
In the town square lovers sit hand in hand sharing Marquesitas and petals of mango dressed with lime, chilli and salt.
Bacalar is a groovy little artists town far from the tourists trap & corporations of Tulum & Cancun. If you're looking for the real Mexico - this town is it.
Cheers, Keaton
