Laguna del Tule - Melaque

It was a short, uneventful drive yesterday to Melaque where we are now parked in a beautiful RV Park right on the Laguna del Tule. The RV park is part of a hotel with a pool and clean showers. The world famous Laguna ecosystem is in front of us and the ocean behind. We are backed in with the rear window about five feet from the beach. Once again we fall asleep to the soothing sound of the crashing surf. The cost is a little more reasonable at $500 USA per month with un-metered electricity so we can run the air conditioning without watching the $ signs flying out the window. Electricity in Mexico is much more expensive than in Canada as most of it is diesel generated. The last park we were in was metered and charged us $250 Pesos for five nights ($5 CAN per day) for electricity and we were being careful with the A/C. We have booked here for one week.

There are a couple of crocodiles that make their home in the laguna and I have seen the larger one cruising offshore a couple of times but never close enough for a photo. Other residents tell me he comes close to the shore the odd time looking for a meal, particularly if an RV’er has a tasty looking dog who just might want to go for a swim. I will keep watching and I might be lucky enough to get some photos to share. In the meantime, here are some photos of this unique laguna.
