Xul-Ha Lagoon
Laguna Xul-Ha
A small village lake at the south end of the Bacalar lagoon system, showing the same gradient of blue but far quieter. It is the quieter counterpart of the Lagoon of Seven Colors.
Xul-Há is a small village at the southern end of the Bacalar lagoon system. Its water comes from the same source as the Lagoon of Seven Colors and has a similar color, but it receives far fewer visitors. Along the village edge are several lakeside swimming spots and eco-camps (such as Rancho Escondido), where you can swim, kayak and relax in a hammock. It is about 30 minutes by car from Bacalar and about 25 minutes from Chetumal, and it can be combined with the Bacalar Rapids. Admission is usually modest, so bring cash.
