8 hours Cenotes, Islands, Rapids |
|
With light paddling strokes you follow the current of Laguna Bacalar southwards. Explore the lush jungle shore, small islands where Limpkins and Herons hide between orchids and bromeliads. When you reach the Rio Chac or also called the Pirate Channel you have time to refresh and swim in the clear water, take pictures or just enjoy the magnificent view, while your guide is preparing a little snack. After the break you are crossing the Laguna of the Seven Colors and pass by the Fort San Felipe which towers in the center of Bacalar town. You cross endless deep seeming cenotes (sinkholes) along the populated shore of Bacalar and always watch out for one of the shy Morelet's crocodiles. |
|
Slowly the mangrove shores move closer together and you leave the town behind you. Only the call of the kingfisher might interrupt the silence here. After your lunch break you paddle into a small creek where the roots of the lush jungle vanish deep into the blue of the water and leaves of waterlilies seem to float weightlessly underneath you. Then you reach the narrowest and southernmost part of Laguna Bacalar. Let the current carry you through the rapids and discover colorful fish that hide behind rocks and in little crevasses. Time to swim and a hearty local meal at a small quiet cenote end this tour. |
