The Pink Lagoon

Las Coloradas is a small fishing village located on the Yucatan Peninsula. The pink lagoon is a unique natural wonder that showcases the beauty of the earth's natural processes. The bright pink color of the water is due to the high concentration of salt and red-colored algae. The lagoon is a photographer's paradise and attracts visitors from all over the world. The environmental conditions in Las Coloradas have resulted in a thriving ecosystem where flamingos, pelicans and other aquatic birds make their home. The town is also home to a salt production facility which adds to the unique experience.
