    Las Coloradas

    Las Coloradas, located on the Yucatán Peninsula, is a truly unique destination known for its striking pink lake. The lake's vibrant color comes from a natural pigment produced by halobacteria—microorganisms that thrive in salt-saturated water. On this tour, you'll witness one of nature’s most fascinating phenomena, explore stunning landscapes, learn about the science and history behind the area, and have the chance to observe flamingos in their natural habitat.
