As of now there are 132 Magical Towns in Mexico, three of which are on the Mexican Caribbean.

• Bacalar: This town is laid out around a lagoon known as the “Lagoon of Seven Colors,” due to the different shades of blue that you can glimpse in its waters. This place is located two and a half hours from Tulum; here, you can enjoy activities such as diving, swimming, and snorkeling.
