   The Cenote Cocalitos, known as the "Sanctuary of the Stromatolites", is one of the most emblematic natural jewels of Bacalar. Its shallow and crystal clear waters allow us to observe closely these millennia-old formations, considered the oldest living organisms on the planet. However, due to its fragility and to preserve this unique ecosystem, swimming is prohibited in the areas where the stromatolites are found. Therefore, during the boat tours of the Laguna de los Siete Colores, Cocalitos is a stop to admire from the boat, without the possibility of entering the water in that specific area. This measure seeks to protect and conserve this natural treasure for future generations.
