Wake up with enthusiasm, it's day two! Today's first destination is Laguna Bacalar, also known as the 'Lake of Seven Colors' due to its mesmerizing combination of blue hues. Enjoy water activities or just relax by the lake, the choice is yours. Enjoy a delightful lunch at El Manati Bacalar, the dishes are as satisfying as the lake view from your table. Have you ever wondered what a postcard from paradise looks like? Then you need to visit Biouniverzoo, where you witness wildlife up close. A day at Chetumal isn’t complete without diving into its bustling nightlife. Make a stop at Zarabanda, a lively local bar to mingle with the locals over delicious cocktails and live music.

Day 3 - Amazing Archaeology & Cherished Farewell

On the third day, after a hearty breakfast, prepare yourself for an exciting day at Oxtankah Ruins. The ancient Mayan city will captivate you with its stone structures, artefacts and age-old tales. Grab a bite from the local eateries and then head to the Zona Libre de Belice for some duty-free shopping. Time for a farewell dinner at Marisqueria El Taco Loco, a local seafood specialty restaurant.
