Las Coloradas: A Secret Yucatan Paradise

Located in the heart of Yucatan, Las Coloradas is a small port that is rapidly gaining popularity thanks to an amazing natural phenomenon: its waters, dyed a vibrant shade of pink, attract thousands of tourists in search of a unique experience. This spectacle of nature is the result of a high concentration of salt and microorganisms that paint the water with a color that looks like something out of a dream.

Although Las Coloradas does not have large resorts or tourist facilities, its wild and serene beauty is precisely what makes it a must-see destination. Getting away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist centers and immersing oneself in its tranquil atmosphere is a reward for those seeking to disconnect and enjoy unparalleled landscapes.

Just a stone’s throw from the pink waters is Rio Lagartos, an estuary that has been designated as a Natural Biosphere Reserve. This ecological paradise is an example of an endemic environment, home to an impressive variety of flora and fauna, including the famous pink flamingos. These majestic birds visit the area in certain seasons, giving travelers a spectacle of color and elegance that completes the magic of the place.

If you are a lover of nature and pure beauty, Las Coloradas will offer you all that and more. This corner of Yucatan, which has been protected since 1979, is a place where preservation is essential. Tourists and locals alike have the responsibility to take care of this wonderful destination so that future generations can continue to enjoy its splendor.

Las Coloradas is a place for those who are looking for something more than a common tourist destination: it is a place to marvel, disconnect and witness the natural magic that Yucatan has to offer.
