Las Coloradas
Discover the famous pink lagoons of Las Coloradas, one of Yucatán’s most unique natural wonders. Enjoy a guided visit to admire the vibrant rosy waters, walk along designated viewing areas, and capture stunning photos of this surreal landscape—perfect for unforgettable vacation shots.
The intense pink color of the lagoons is created by high salt concentrations and natural pigments found in microorganisms. Your guide will explain how this extraordinary phenomenon forms and why the shade of pink can vary depending on sunlight and weather conditions.
This protected ecosystem is also a feeding and nesting area for wild flamingos. If conditions allow, you may see these elegant birds in their natural habitat as they wade through the shallow waters.
This stop offers the ideal mix of nature, photography, and learning—an essential experience for anyone visiting the Yucatán Peninsula.
