Rio Lagartos and Las Coloradas

Tulum

The north coast of the Yucatan is a treasure trove of hidden gems. Spend a day away from the Caribbean exploring unique pink lagoons, coastal mangrove rivers rich with wildlife, and salt flats that are home to the largest flock of pink flamingos in North America.

A nature lover’s dream, the Rio Lagartos Nature Reserve offers a fascinating environment to explore by boat. The saltwater river winds through dense mangrove forests, home to hundreds of bird species and crocodiles, before reaching the breeding grounds of the iconic pink flamingo.

Decide which is more impressive: thousands of pink flamingos gathered together or the striking pink color of the waters. With fewer travelers venturing this far, the village of Las Coloradas retains its authentic charm, with sandy streets and fresh seafood straight from the local fishermen’s catch.

This is a truly rewarding experience, filled with unique landscapes and incredible photo opportunities. The journey ends with a refreshing stop at a beautiful cenote on the way back.

The cenotes of Yucatan are just as diverse as those around Tulum, but with far fewer visitors, offering a peaceful and authentic experience.
