Bacalar on a Budget: Floating through 3.5 Billion years of history

Описание: ​🇲🇽 THE MALDIVES OF MEXICO?
An intro to the stunning freshwater lagoon and why the water is so blue.

​🚌 THE JOURNEY FROM CAMPECHE
How to get to Bacalar independently. We ditched the ADO for the 2nd class bus—find out why (and see Dave nearly get hypothermia in the "Arctic Tundra" AC).

​🛶 THE TRUTH ABOUT BOAT TOURS
We visited Cenote Negro, Esmeralda, and Cocalitos. Was it worth the pesos or a total flop?

​🥗 VEGAN BACALAR EATS
Eating our way through the town, from legendary burgers at Mango y Chile to the "weird but amazing" hibiscus burritos.

​🎢 LOS RAPIDOS & THE SCIENCE BIT
Floating through the channel and a deep dive into Stromatolites. Why these 3.5 billion-year-old "rocks" are the OGs of Earth. 🧪

​🐦 WILDLIFE SPOTTING
​The chaos-energy of the Great-Tailed Grackles.
​Wood Storks on Bird Island.
​A "highway" of a trillion leaf-cutter ants. 🐜
​Tiny hummingbirds and evening bats. 🦇
