From Riviera: Rio Lagartos & Las Coloradas

About this experience

Discover one of the most unique natural treasures of the Yucatán Peninsula on this full-day experience that blends wildlife, landscapes, and authentic Mayan traditions. Your journey begins at Río Lagartos, a small fishing village located within a protected nature reserve. From here, you’ll board a boat and navigate through its extensive mangrove canals, surrounded by rich biodiversity. As you explore this ecosystem, you’ll have the opportunity to observe a wide variety of bird species such as pink flamingos, herons, eagles, seagulls, pelicans, and cormorants, as well as other wildlife that inhabits this natural sanctuary. During the experience, you will also discover the famous Las Coloradas salt deposits, where different bodies of water are used in the salt production process. Some of these lagoons display a striking pink color, creating one of the most iconic landscapes in the region. Depending on availability, part of the route may include passing under the bridge of Las Coloradas by bicycle, adding a unique and active touch to the experience. One of the highlights of the tour is the traditional Mayan mud bath, where you’ll cover your body with mineral-rich clay known for its natural skin benefits. Afterward, continue to a virgin beach, where you can rinse off in crystal-clear waters and relax in a peaceful natural setting. To complete the experience, enjoy a fresh local meal, featuring regional flavors based on fish and seafood, served in a relaxed coastal atmosphere. This tour offers a perfect combination of nature, wildlife observation, and cultural traditions, making it one of the most distinctive experiences in the Yucatán.
