What to expect

Experience one of Yucatán’s most impressive natural wonders in a single day. Your adventure begins at Las Coloradas, home to the iconic pink lagoons, whose vibrant color comes from minerals and high salt concentrations. This surreal landscape offers stunning, one-of-a-kind photo opportunities that look straight out of another world.

Then, set off on a boat tour through the Ría Lagartos Biosphere Reserve, a protected sanctuary where you can spot wild flamingos, crocodiles, and a wide variety of birds in their natural habitat.

One of the most unique moments of the tour is the chance to take part in a traditional Mayan exfoliation ritual, using mineral-rich white clay believed to purify and soften the skin. This authentic experience is rarely included in standard tours.

Finally, enjoy a delicious à la carte meal at a local restaurant in Río Lagartos, ending your day with regional flavors in a relaxed natural setting.
