- Las Coloradas - Get ready to capture one of Yucatán’s most stunning natural spectacles with your camera! This remarkable journey takes you to Las Coloradas, where a series of vibrant pink lagoons create a surreal, dreamlike landscape that appears to be from another world.
The waters shimmer with their intense rosy hue—a natural phenomenon resulting from unique salt concentrations and pigmented microorganisms. Under the golden Mexican sun, these cotton-candy colored lakes become the ultimate photographer’s paradise, offering once-in-a-lifetime shots at every turn.
This ecosystem is a crucial sanctuary for magnificent flamingos, whose iconic pink plumage is derived from feasting on the lagoon’s brine shrimp and algae. Marvel as these graceful birds wade through their colorful habitat.
Reaching Las Coloradas takes about 3-4 hours depending on traffic (bringing snacks is recommended).
- Río Lagartos - Board a boat and embark on the second part of your adventure, gliding through the canals and lagoons of the Ría Lagartos Biosphere Reserve. Keep an eye out for majestic pink flamingos wading through the shallows and stealthy crocodiles basking along the banks—a true wildlife spectacle!
Then, prepare for pure relaxation as you arrive at a secluded beach, where nature offers the ultimate spa experience. Here, indulge in a natural exfoliation treatment, using the region’s mineral-rich mud to rejuvenate your skin. Surrounded by wild vegetation and the tranquil sounds of the reserve, this is wellness at its most authentic—no frills, just the raw beauty of the Mayan wilderness.
Returning to your hotel takes about 3-4 hours.
