Bacalar & la laguna de las 7 colores

After 14 hours of bus ride (4 buses) and 2 border crossings, I arrived in Mexico 🇲🇽!

Flores 🇬🇹 -> Belize City 🇧🇿 -> Chetumal 🇲🇽 -> Bacalar 🇲🇽

Already the bus ride was interesting and quite tough also (border crossings suck!). The scenery, the language, the currency and also the people changed completely in Belize (it used to be a British colony). Due to its crazy prices I skipped it on my route, but I could feel the different Afro-Caribbean vibes only by staying a couple of hours. It is supposed to be one of the best diving spots in the world, so maybe I shouldn’t have skipped it 🤔

Mexico and especially the Yucatán peninsula immediately appeared to me a lot more touristic, compared to Guatemala, where people rather stayed during longer travels and especially enjoyed the nature and hiking.

Bacalar is not a big town but has a lot to offer for food (the famous tacos!), relaxed activities, partying and dancing 😍. The pictures tell all the stories! 😎Read more
