Riding through the Jungle at Eco Tucan near Laguna Bacalar

Spend your days surrounded by nature at Villas Ecotucan Ecological Resort located on the shores of the beautiful Laguna Bacalar, one of Mexico’s largest freshwater lakes. Stay in one of five comfortable and spacious stone cabins with thatch roofs, surrounded by tropical gardens and reminiscent of a Mayan settlement offering guests a tranquil base for relaxing with nature.

Swim or kayak the magnificent lagoon, explore the many nearby ruins, hike or bike jungle trails, or just enjoy our scenic beauty, birds, and wildlife. At the end of the day, fall asleep to the comforting hum of the surrounding jungle.

During the day spend your time just sitting and looking at the lake. Or, enjoy walking through our jungle trails, watching birds, or playing with some of the leisure equipment we provide, which includes bocci, badminton, croquet, and volleyball.

Up to five species of Orioles have been seen together in the morning in the flowering Cecropia Tree beside the dining-room.
