A whole day dedicated to nature, beginning with the visit of Las Coloradas, also known as “the pink sea of Yucatan”. The color of the water is due to the high concentration of salt that has the bottom, which makes it a real show. Afterword we will move to the village of Rio Lagartos, located on the edge of a mysterious lagoon, also known as “the sanctuary of the pink flamingo”. Here lives more than 320 species of birds, between the mangroves that are the natural scenography of the place

After a grueling four-hour van ride (we had been advised it was two hours which was fair enough), my family (sister & spouse, husband) were looking forward to being able to see a pink sand beach. In reality, it is a salt water flat where salt is extracted when flooded by seawater. As the water evaporates, salt is left and the minerals have a pink tinge. Do not believe you are going to be able to actually get near, but remember to bring binoculars so you can see anything.
Then lunch at a local eating spot, where we had delicious fish.
The boat ride was and hour and a half and we saw flamingos.
Then back to the van for our return four hour return ride.
The guide was terriffic (Ariel) and we enjoyed our commentary.
If you enjoy driving and seeing some local culture then enjoy. We would not have taken this tour had we know the timing. We blame Trip Advisor for not being forthcoming in their description.
