Bacalar is a magical town where you will find the Bacalar Lagoon, also called the Lagoon of the Seven Colors; it is a conglomerate of lagoons that extends for 32 miles, and it is undoubtedly a pleasant surprise to discover its fresh turquoise waters on white sand surrounded by jungle.

Overall a good day on the water despite no catch on the fly. The guide had a large repertoire of different spots but it was very windy and the fish were hard to spot. Still I caught a large Barracuda on spinning gear which was definitely a good compensation after hours of looking for tarpon and bonefish. In the afternoon the engine failed but the guide fixed the problem after half an hour. Overall I would recommend to plan your trip, if you can, during the right season for your desired species.
