Pink Lagoon Las Coloradas

In a corner of the vast Ría Lagartos Biosphere Reserve, there is a salt field that is naturally pink in color. The intensity of the pink varies depending on the quality of the water, and in some places it looks like a gradation from pink to blue. In recent years, social networking sites have spread the word of the Pink Lagoon's unbelievable beauty, and it has become such a popular tourist destination that day trips from Cancun can be arranged.

Ría Lagartos Biosphere Reserve

The Ría Lagartos Biosphere Reserve stretches along the northern coast of the nature-rich Yucatan Peninsula. It is famous for its pink lagoon, which is formed when the water from the salt pans is stained with plankton, and is often chosen as a honeymoon destination for its romantic scenery. The surrounding sea and mangrove forests are also a treasure trove of life, and you can take a boat ride to visit a flamingo colony or take a tour to see rare animals such as crocodiles and horseshoe crabs.
