Yal Kú Lagoon

The waters of Yal Kú Lagoon mix fresh water from underground cenotes with Caribbean saltwater, creating a natural habitat for tropical fish species.

The Mayan inhabitants of the region utilized this lagoon system for centuries as a protected waterway connecting inland settlements to coastal trading routes.

Local environmental groups maintain a collection of stone sculptures along the lagoon's edge, representing the connection between marine life and Mexican artistic heritage.

Visitors can rent snorkeling equipment at the entrance for 260 Mexican pesos and store belongings in lockers while exploring the waters from 9 AM to 5 PM.

The lagoon's depth remains under 4 meters throughout its extent, with limestone formations creating natural channels where fresh and salt water meet.
