Las Coloradas

Have you already made the most of the sea and the turquoise lagoons? Then now it’s your turn to renew your ties with nature in one of the most impressive places in the Yucatan Peninsula, the Río Lagartos Biosphere Reserve. This lagoon surprises everyone who sees it because it has something very special: it is pink. You read right, it’s pink! And if that’s not enough to make you fall in love with this air trip over the Coloradas, Río Lagartos is home to majestic pink flamingos; they are everywhere you look, fixing their shiny plumage. Did you know that the pink color of their plumage is due to the fact that they feed on small crustaceans called artemias? Impressive, don’t you think?

Las Coloradas is a low depth and high salinity lagoon; it is recommended to swim in it because you dehydrate very fast. Thanks to the amount of sodium chloride contained in the pink waters of the Coloradas, it is the only salt producer in Mexico that produces “Flor de Sal”. With us, you will be able to appreciate the pink lagoons and the high mountains of salt piled up there, with a sensational aerial view.

Many visitors want to get to know this wonderful place, however, they decide not to because of the distance and the travel time. You can forget about these worries, we will take care of everything, your only responsibility will be to relax and let our pilots guide you.
