- Rio Lagartos - Head to the Rio Lagartos Biosphere to embark on a boat tour and observe a variety of bird species such as herons, fishing eagles, pelicans, and, of course, flamingos. Along the way, encounter other coastal ecosystem residents within the mangrove forests, including the impressive crocodiles and raccoons.
- Las Coloradas - Visit the renowned Las Coloradas, or “magenta waters,” where pink lakes stretch across the landscape, creating a stunning contrast with the blue skies. The striking pink hue of these lakes is due to red-colored algae, plankton, and brine shrimp that flourish in the salty environment. Flamingos are pink because they consume these pink shrimp.

What an incredible day… 🤲 🦩🚤 🐊 - All I can say is WOW! 🤩 We did a full day private tour with Sal and it couldn’t have been better. From visiting Ek Balam to the pink salt flats to a great lunch of fresh seafood to seeing flamingos in the wild to a boat trip through Rio Lagartos, everything exceeded our expectations.
