Sadly, I made it to within 30 minutes of the Rio Lacuntun, but not quit all the way there. Thought you all might enjoy some pics. Note that these photos have not been altered. The water really is that blue.

Here is a map to get you oriented.

Small lake at Lagos de Montebello just west of the Rio Lacuntun

Close up of the bank. If you have a really good eye you may spot some livebearers and siklids. They show up well when the photo is blown up.

Just some additional non fish photos.

Funniest sign I saw. Translation would be roughly "Do not go pee pee here."

I'm sorry you didn't reach your destination, Shane. That water should have it's own color name: Montebello Blue. I see the Sierra Norte De Chiapas on the map. How far south do those mountains go?

(That architecture is amazing. :D)

Yes. The next time I will have a snorkle and mask! It is as clear as some seas I have been in.
