Immerse yourself in one of Yucatán’s most fascinating landscapes with our Las Coloradas & Río Lagartos Tour, an experience that blends natural wonder, local culture, and the incredible biodiversity of the Mexican Caribbean. Discover the world-famous pink lagoons of Las Coloradas and the Río Lagartos Biosphere Reserve, home to flamingos, crocodiles, mangroves, and some of the most stunning natural scenery in Mexico.
🌅 Step-by-Step Experience
Your adventure begins with a shared hotel pick-up aboard a sanitized, air-conditioned sprinter van driven by certified operators. During the ride, enjoy a box lunch with a sandwich, juice, cookie, and chocolate — the perfect way to start your day full of energy.
Upon arrival at Las Coloradas, you’ll be amazed by the breathtaking natural phenomenon of its pink lagoons, created by high salt concentrations and special microorganisms. This is the perfect spot to take once-in-a-lifetime photos and learn about the region’s traditional salt production, a practice that has sustained local families for generations.
Next, your journey continues to the Río Lagartos Biosphere Reserve, where you’ll board a boat and navigate through its stunning mangroves and lagoons — a natural habitat for pink flamingos, exotic birds, and other wildlife.
Here, you’ll also experience the famous “Mayan Bath”, a rejuvenating natural exfoliation using white clay that leaves your skin refreshed and glowing.
Afterward, unwind with a swim at Río Lagartos Beach, surrounded by pristine nature and peace. Finally, end your day with a delicious à la carte lunch at a seaside restaurant, featuring fresh regional dishes.
A perfect experience for travelers who love nature, culture, and authentic local adventures.
