Meeting people in Bacalar, answered

How do I meet people in Bacalar?

Pick something that repeats every week and go twice.

Can I go on my own?

Yes: everything here is the kind of thing people go to alone, from trivia nights that put you on a team to walking tours where everyone's a stranger at the start. The weekly nights at hotels and hostels are open to everyone, not just their guests.

I've just moved to Bacalar. Where do I start?

Choose "Staying a while" above: the weekly nights come first, because going back is how strangers become friends. New to Bacalar plans your first month, one week at a time.
