But before taking photos at the Kaan Luum Lagoon, you have to be aware of the important reminders to maintain its beauty and to ensure your safety.

The natural beautiful color of the lagoon is trying to be kept that way by the locals by ensuring the place is as less crowded as possible. When visiting the Kaan Luum Lagoon, it is important to remember that using sunblock or repellent before getting into the water is prohibited.
