Rio Lagartos and Las Coloradas

We’ll head out from Mérida to see the famous pink lakes of Las Coloradas — the color is so bright it almost doesn’t look real. It’s even better in person than in photos.

From there, we’ll take a boat ride through Río Lagartos, keeping an eye out for flamingos, pelicans, and maybe even crocodiles. We’ll cruise through quiet mangroves and stop at a beautiful, untouched beach where you can relax and enjoy the view.

After lunch in a local restaurant, we will head back to Mérida.

A day of color, wildlife, and peaceful nature by the water.
