Las Coloradas Pink Lake & Río Lagartos Flamingo Tour from Cancún
4.6 · 108 reviews
Nature never stops surprising those who look with curiosity.
The water at Las Coloradas is actually pink, a natural phenomenon caused by microorganisms and mineral salts in the shallow lagoons of northern Yucatán. Seeing it in person is still a surprise.
From there, the tour continues to Río Lagartos Biosphere Reserve: a boat through the mangroves spotting flamingos, pelicans, and crocodiles. A traditional Mayan clay bath, a swim, and a full seafood lunch at a local restaurant included. Hotel pickup from Cancún and the Riviera Maya.
