Nestled about an hour from Costa Maya is the town of Bacalar. Bacalar is the namesake of Lake Bacalar known ass the Lagoon of Seven Colors. It is a freshwater lake fed by underground springs. It is relatively shallow in most areas giving way to cenotes that are hundreds of feet deep. The reputation for having seven colors comes from the fact that the water being so clear shows as many shades of blue depending on how deep the water is. It goes from a greenish blue, to a light blue, all the way to a deep dark blue. Lake Bacalar is also known as one of the homes of Stromatolites; one of the oldest extant lifeforms on Earth.
Of all the places I have had a chance to visit, this one is by far one of the most beautiful.

That sounds and looks like a beautiful place. Can you swim there? I can see why it's one of your favorite places. Have a great day.
You definitely can. Granted, I was too afraid to swim over one of the cenotes.
The colours are fabulous. Getting popping and vibrant colour is one of the major fun in photography
I absolutely love color.
