Las Coloradas (Rio Lagartos) This amazing place is Las Coloradas, a small fishing village of just one thousand inhabitants located on the northern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula.

In Las Coloradas you will see the landscapes with great contrasts as you will not find anywhere else. Seawater is enclosed in dams so that with evaporation the salt is deposited and can be commercialized; this offers one of the most amazing landscapes! Due to the concentration of the salt, the water takes on coppery tonalities and when almost all the water has evaporated, it takes an incredible pink tone that is quite impressive. This adventure includes a visit to the ría known as Ría Lagartos, where you can enjoy the scenery and the sighting of flamingos in their natural habitat,  you'll have lunch  served in a quite typical place of the region and then you might take a picture with a casserole crab and finish the tour with a Mayan bath based on nature mud or white clay with which you can exfoliate your skin or take the natural "fish Spa". 3.

In fact, Tulum is one of only a few Mayan cities found to date with such fortifications. From A.D. 1250 to 1521, Tulum prospered as a port due to its strategic location on the sea and overland trade routes and its sheltered bay, a safe harbor in times of storm.
