Las Coloradas Pink Lakes & Río Lagartos from Tulum

What makes this tour truly unique is the combination of two extraordinary natural experiences in a single day. At Las Coloradas, you’ll encounter the world-famous pink lagoons—an otherworldly setting created by natural pigments and high salt concentrations, offering some of the most striking photo opportunities in Mexico. Then, explore the Ría Lagartos Biosphere Reserve by boat, where wild flamingos, crocodiles, and birds thrive in a protected ecosystem. Unlike standard tours, this experience also includes a traditional Mayan exfoliation ritual using mineral-rich white clay in a peaceful natural setting. Your day concludes with an authentic à la carte meal at a local restaurant, blending nature, culture, wellness, and regional flavor into one unforgettable adventure.
