Detailed itinerary

Grab your camera and prepare to witness one of Yucatán’s most breathtaking natural wonders! This extraordinary excursion takes you to Las Coloradas, where a series of vibrant pink lagoons create a surreal, dreamlike landscape that seems plucked from another world.

The waters dazzle with their intense rosy hue - a natural phenomenon caused by unique salt concentrations and pigmented microorganisms. Under the golden Mexican sun, these cotton-candy colored lakes transform into the ultimate photographer’s paradise, offering once-in-a-lifetime shots at every turn.

This ecosystem serves as a vital sanctuary for magnificent flamingos, whose iconic pink plumage comes from feasting on the lagoon’s brine shrimp and algae. Watch in awe as these elegant birds wade through their colorful habitat.

Climb aboard and set off on the second leg of your journey, gliding through the canals and lagoons of Ría Lagartos Biosphere Reserve. Keep your eyes peeled for majestic pink flamingos wading through the shallows and stealthy crocodiles basking along the banks—a true wildlife spectacle!

Then, prepare for pure relaxation as you arrive at a hidden beach, where nature provides the ultimate spa experience. Here, you’ll indulge in a natural exfoliation treatment, using the region’s mineral-rich mud to rejuvenate your skin. Surrounded by wild vegetation and the tranquil sounds of the reserve, this is wellness at its most authentic—no frills, just the raw beauty of the Mayan wilderness.
