Las Coloradas is a stunning natural destination located on the northern coast of the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. It is renowned for its striking pink lagoons, which are part of a salt production area. The vivid pink color of the water is due to the high concentration of salt and the presence of microorganisms, such as red algae, plankton, and brine shrimp. This unique phenomenon creates a mesmerizing landscape that attracts photographers and nature enthusiasts from around the world. Las Coloradas is also part of the Ría Lagartos Biosphere Reserve, which is home to diverse wildlife, including flamingos, crocodiles, and a variety of bird species.
