Villas Ecotucan

A short walk down the hill takes you to the magical Laguna Bacalar. Also known as the Lagoon of the Seven Colors, its bright shades of blue are breathtaking. During the day you can spend your time just sitting at and simply admiring the lake. But if you want to Discover its beauty and surroundings in an ecological way and direct contact with nature go on one of the guided tours with our partner Active Nature.

Canoe trip at Villas Ecotucan with Active Nature

Located right here at our hotel they offer a variety of tours for everyone, enjoy kayak trips from 1 hour up to 4 days with one of their experienced guides. Paddle into Hidden Lagoons or feel the beginning of the day when joining their popular Early Bird Tour.

Tour the extensive gardens of native species, walk on our jungle trail, or go on a guided mountain bike tour with Active Nature, an educational jungle adventure to a breeding station for an endangered endemic bird species – the Great Curassow.

In the evening, our chef prepares a delicious dinner and you are surrounded by the sounds of a tropical night. Go on exciting night jungle walks to see tree frogs, owls, pacas, armadillos or tarantulas.

Sit by the campfire, look at the stars, or enjoy the reflection of the moon in the lake from a hammock on the dock. If you are here on the Full Moon Nights we strongly recommend their romantic Special - The Sunset-Full Moon Kayak Tour with a Candlelight Dinner on the lake.

Active Nature takes you on bird watching tours as well as guided jungle walks during which visitors get a chance to learn about and observe the flora and fauna of this region first hand. Whether you are a bird watcher or a nature lover, you'll spend relaxing days exploring our jungle paths as well as fruit orchards observing species of all kinds. Below are a handful of some of the most exotic commonly spotted birds on our property. To learn more visit our birding page linked to above.

Other commonly spotted wildlife in the area includes butterflies, coati, tejones, armadillos, monkeys and a wide variety of snakes and insects.

If all these activities aren't adventurous enough for you we can arrange More. A Zipline high in the canopy for example, where the effort of climbing up a free hanging latter is paid off by a breathtaking view over the canopy and Laguna Bacalar and of course by the thrill to “fly” over the trees.

Or how about rappelling 80m down to a sacred Cenote in the remote Southern tip of Quintana Roo's Jungle? The Rappel Tour to Cenote Cocodrilo Dorado in La Union (120 km from Bacalar) is a trip you'll never forget. If you are interested in these adventurous activities please contact us for more information.
