Merida: Las Coloradas & Río Lagartos Tour – Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico

EXPERIENCE:

Commence your journey from Mérida in the early morning towards the northern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, where the renowned tourist inn “Las Coloradas” awaits. A rare spectacle in Mexico, this destination boasts uniquely pink saltwater lagoons, providing a vibrant and picturesque backdrop. Accompanied by a local guide, unravel the secrets behind the phenomenon as you walk among the lagoons, capturing stunning photographs.

Following the memorable experience at Las Coloradas, head to Río Lagartos for a boat ride through its natural reserve.

If conditions favor, witness the enchanting pink flamingos in their natural habitat, alongside other bird species, raccoons, and even crocodiles.
