About This Tour
Experience a side of Yucatán that few travelers ever witness. This tour takes you deep into the Río Lagartos Nature Reserve, a sanctuary filled with wild beauty where flamingos paint the sky pink as they take flight. Here, you’ll also encounter herons, eagles, ospreys, and other native birds in their natural habitat—perfect for nature lovers and wildlife photographers. You’ll also visit the famous pink waters of Las Coloradas, a stunning area shaped by decades of sea-salt extraction. The vibrant rose-colored lagoons create one of the most surreal landscapes in Mexico, offering incredible photo opportunities you won’t find anywhere else. Along the way, keep your eyes open—you may even spot crocodiles resting near the mangroves, adding a thrill to the journey. The experience concludes with a delicious local lunch, the perfect ending to a day filled with color, wildlife, and unforgettable moments.
