Full-Day Tour to Las Coloradas Pink Paradise in Yucatan and Rio Lagartos.

Overview

Discover the pink of Lake Las Coloradas and the contrast of the Lagartos River with the beautiful flamingos on the day trip from your hotel door. On your visit to the Riviera Maya you can't miss Las Coloradas, an amazing paradise that we must all visit. There is a place in the port of Las Coloradas, Yucatan, which seems the scene of a fantastic dream. This visual spectacle is known as "Pink Lake". In this fishing village, the salt industry is indispensable. It was the salt deposits that accumulated in the lake that stained its waters with a spectacular pink hue. Important information: From July 19 to August 19, 2023, due to the beginning of the salt harvest, the pink tone of Las Coloradas is much lower and you will not be able to appreciate the characteristic color of this area. We thank you for your understanding.
