Thanks for the fabulous photos mazatlanlee. I had forgotten just how beautiful Laguna De Bacalar is. Perhaps we should have settled there after all. Those of you who value (mostly) undeveloped natural beauty should get down there soon because the last I heard they are building a huge new regional airport at Majahual for long range jets and, I believe, possibly a new championship golf course near to or next to the lake and they will be hauling in tourists from all over the world in there by the Airbus full. The great beauty of both Bacalar and Xcalak is in their isolation despite my lame joke about suicide after a few months.
Speaking of isolation, Bacalar is really just up the road from Chetumal so that is not a problem there. However, last I heard, the nearest medical clinic from Xcalak was about an hour and a half drive but I havenīt been there in some three years so perhaps the medical situation has improved. After the government opens up this area for massive tourist development there should be clinics and bars and looped tourists all over the place.
However there is always the protected national park at Lagunas de Montebello with its crystal clear and multi-colored lakes in the woods in Chiapas on the Guatemala border. There is a wonderful hacienda and museum of Spanish art near the park where we stay at every chance we get. In fact our wedding gift to Mexican friends who just got married was a night in the hacienda which they loved as did we. More about that in another thread I will dedicate to the Montebello Lakes. Getting there is half the fun.
Oops. Posted under the bossīs name by accident. More trouble.
