Huay Pix | Bacalar's Secret Lagoon | Traveling The Yucatan Off The Beaten Path

Hey there, ramblers & rovers! Welcome to Huay Pix, a hidden gem nestled in the enchanting Mexican State of Quintana Roo. This picturesque destination, located between the destinations of Chetumal and Bacalar near Mexico's southern border with Belize, offers a blend of natural beauty, cultural heritage, and serene surroundings. Whether you're seeking relaxation, adventure, or a taste of authentic Mexican culture, Huay Pix has something to offer for every traveler. Here's your comprehensive travel guide, complete with travel tips, to make the most of your visit:
GETTING THERE: The nearest major airport is Cancún International Airport (CUN), located approximately 195 kilometers (121 miles) from Huay Pix. From there, you can rent a car, take a bus, or arrange for a private transfer to reach Huay Pix. Otherwise, take a bus or a car towards Chetumal and get off by the road in Huay Pix.
BEST TIME TO VISIST: The ideal time to visit Huay Pix is during the dry season, which typically runs from November to April. This period offers pleasant weather, clear skies, and lower chances of rain.
ACCOMODATION: While Huay Pix is a relatively small and off-the-beaten-path destination, you'll find a range of accommodation options, including boutique hotels, eco-friendly lodges, and guesthouses. Consider booking your stay in advance, especially during peak travel seasons. The most viable option, however, is to go to Huay Pix from either Chetumal or Bacalar as a day trip.
LOCAL CURRENCY: The official currency in Mexico is the Mexican Peso (MXN). It's advisable to carry some cash.
TRANSPORTATION: Renting a car or hiring a local guide can be a convenient way to explore Huay Pix and its surrounding attractions. Alternatively, local buses and shared vans (collectivos) offer affordable transportation options.
THINGS TO DO:
SWIM IN THE LAGUNA DE LOS MILAGROS: The centerpiece of your visit, the stunning Huay Pix lagoon, offers crystal-clear turquoise waters and opportunities for kayaking, boating, swimming, and simply relaxing by the shore.
LOCAL CUISINE: Indulge in authentic Mexican flavors at local eateries. Try traditional dishes like cochinita pibil (slow-cooked pork), ceviche, and fresh seafood. Don't forget to savor some Yucatecan specialties!
RESPONSIBLE TRAVEL:
-Respect the environment and local culture. Follow "Leave No Trace" principles when visiting natural areas.
-Use reef-safe sunscreen to protect the delicate marine ecosystem (these freshwater lagoons can easily become contaminated by commercial sunscreen brands).
-Opt for eco-friendly activities and accommodations to minimize your impact on the environment.
Your journey to Huay Pix promises a blend of relaxation, adventure, and cultural immersion. Embrace the tranquility of the lagoon, uncover the mysteries of Mexico's southern border regions, and create cherished memories in this hidden paradise. Plan ahead, respect the local community, and savor every moment of your unforgettable Huay Pix experience!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Ah, yes, more irresponsible travel vloggers looking for content and destroying the ecology of remote areas that cannot handle major tourism influxes. You love to see it.

I'm sorry you feel that way. I understand where you're coming from, but if you actually saw more of my content, you would see I actually advocate for taking care of these places (which I love), especially when it comes to nature.
