Overview

Let yourself be surprised by one of the most unrealistic landscapes in Mexico, where the water is painted pink and nature is shown in its purest
Your experience begins in Las Coloradas, a place that looks like another planet. Here you will discover the famous pink lagoons, whose intense tones contrast with the sky and create a perfect setting for photos
Afterwards, you will enter Rio Lagartos, a nature reserve where you will sail between mangroves and canals surrounded by wildlife, watching flamingos, exotic birds and, if nature permits, crocodiles in their natural habitat.
One of the most special moments will be the traditional Mayan Bath, where you will cover your skin with mineral-rich clay with purifying properties.
To close the day, you will arrive at an unspoilt beach with crystal clear waters, where you can relax and enjoy a local meal prepared with fresh ingredients.
This is not just a tour... it is an authentic connection with nature and the essence of the Mexican Caribbean.

Rio Lagartos

Rio Lagartos is one of the natural jewels of the Yucatan Peninsula. Here we will enjoy a boat tour through its canals surrounded by mangroves, where you can observe different species of birds.During the tour we will pass under the Las Coloradas bridge to reach the salt deposits, where different bodies of water are observed, some of a striking pink color. Next, we can enjoy a Mayan Bath and cover our bodies with clays full of nutrients. Then we will go to an unspoilt beach to remove the mud in its crystal clear waters.

Activity name

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
