xcalak mexico

   We are offering Mexico Flats on the Fly in Xcalak, Mexico. Just north of the Belize boarder on the Mexican Yucatan Peninsula lies the coastal village of Xcalak (pronounced shkalak). Protecting its coastline on the east is a large barrier reef, and on the west and slightly south of town is Xcalak, where there are miles of flats in hundreds of bays and lagoons as part of Chetemal Bay.

     Time seems to have forgotten this remote, somewhat primitive area. The town of Xcalak, for whatever reasons, appears to have resisted progress, as we know it in the "civilized" world. Fishing is the mainstay for most of the few hundred native inhabitants and a relaxed, unhurried lifestyle sets the tone.
   It is not far to the border of Belize and a world away from the world most of us live in. Yet it is what many dream about and hope to discover. This natural adventure land boasts a vast array of tropical plant and animal life. Lagoons along the undisturbed shoreline are home to Tarpon, Snook, Bonefish and Permit. Only a short distance from the beach, the most prolific and unspoiled reef beckons the snorkeler, diver and angler.
