Fort San Felipe overlooking Laguna Bacalar Fort San Felipe was built to fend off English pirates. The fort was built by settlers from the Canary Islands in 1729.

Some of the weaponry at Fort San Felipe is now overgrown with vegetation. The Cenote Azul is the largest cenote in the world. The name Bacalar is derived from the Mayan "Bak Halal", which means "Place Surrounded by Canes".

Laguna Bacalar is known as "the lagoon of seven colors". Snorkeling and swimming are popular pasttimes at Cenote Azul. The spring-fed Laguna Bacalar is a good place to swim.

The colors of L. Bacalar can change from minute to minute. The Fort was built with stones from Mayan pyramids. San Felipe Fort is located in the town of Bacalar.

The laguna's white sand bottom helps give the lake its beautiful colors. A few small steps lead to the water from the restaurant - there is no beach. The restaurant at Cenote Azul serves mostly fish and seafood.
