Join us on this day trip from Merida to Las Coloradas and Rio Lagartos, where you'll encounter crocodiles and flamingos in the pink waters of a unique ecosystem in the Yucatan Peninsula.

Description

Our adventure begins at the scheduled time as we gather at the Paseo 60 shopping mall. We will depart on a minibus, leaving the city of Merida for our journey to Las Coloradas and Rio Lagartos.

After a scenic two-and-a-half-hour drive, our first destination will be the Las Coloradas reserve. The waters display distinctive hues of yellow, orange, and pink due to high concentrations of salt and algae, creating an extraordinary landscape.

We will embark on a 1.5-hour hiking route through this natural wonderland, exploring its unique features.

Next, we will highlight the mesmerizing Rio Lagartos with a boat ride, providing the chance to observe local wildlife, including crocodiles and flamingos, in their natural habitat.

Following the two-hour boat excursion along the Lagartos River, you will have the opportunity to experience a traditional Maya bath, using white mud for skin cleansing. Afterward, lunch will be served at a local restaurant.

As the day concludes, you will be transported back to Merida, marking the end of our twelve-hour adventure.
