This town has an attractive <em>\u2018Malecon\u2019 <\/em>that offers several restaurants, bars and shops along the beach.  During the high season, Mahahual receives up to 5 <em>international cruises <\/em>per day. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>The Bacalar Lagoon <\/strong>is called &#8216;The Lake of Seven Colors&#8217;, due to the different tones of water. You must go if you are travelling the Quintana Roo State. In 2007, Bacalar was declared a &#8216;Magic Town&#8217;. In the eighteenth century, <em>San Felipe\u2019s fort <\/em>was build, due to many attacks from English, Dutch and French pirates. There are more attractions, such as the <strong>Cenote Azul <\/strong>and some Mayan archaeological sites.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Talking about the <strong>kitesurfing in Mahahual and Bacalar<\/strong>, we consider that these places are paradisiacal and magical spots. However, there are no good launch areas, that\u2019s why is not recommended for beginners or intermediate kitesurfers. In Mahuahual there is  a reef 100 meters away from the beach, it can be dangerous while riding. Also the space is very limited for launching and landing a kite. There is not any large or wide launching area in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bacalar.gob.mx\/\">Bacalar Lagoon<\/a>. The only option would be to launch the kite from a boat on the lake. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Visit our <a
