The FORBIDDEN Pink Lakes of YUCATAN, MEXICO
We drove from Merida, Yucatan to take a wildlife tour and get up close to Las Coloradas at Rio Lagartos.

We joined our friends on an all-inclusive trip from Mérida, Yucatán to the strange pink lakes of Las Coloradas on the Yucatan Peninsula, a few hours away from Cancun.
One of the things many people love about Mérida is its close proximity to so many attractions and vacation destinations. You have the beach of Progreso 30 minutes away to the North. You’re an hour away from the gorgeous beaches and flamingos in Celestún, and just a few hour’s drive away from popular destinations like: Holbox, Playa Del Carmen, Cancun, and Isla Mujeres. Additionally, you’re near many cenotes, Mayan ruins, and attractions like these pink lakes.
As expats in this beautiful country, we’ve been fortunate to be able to travel Mexico, and make videos about many things in our travel vlog.
If you’re looking for something to do while traveling in the Mayan Riviera or near Mérida, you may want to look into this jungle boat ride of Las Coloradas. You’ll see crocodiles, pink flamingos, and an array of wildlife, in addition to the pink lakes.

LAS COLORADAS YUCATAN - THE RAINBOW SALT FLATS OF MEXICO
This is Las Coloradas Yucatan, the rainbow salt flats of Rio Lagartos Mexico. It took us 4 trips to get this one right, and finally we got a our quadcopter the DJI Inspire 1 drone flight in! You can find pools of green, orange, and pink here. These are ancient drying beds for salt, the more pink the water, the higher the concentration. This place is in the middle of nowhere, and is a helluva thing to see! It's similar to Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia, just add a little bit more color ;)
In our 4 visits to Las Coloradas, we only saw about 5 other people visiting. It's basically unheard of, and you can spend the whole day by yourself there. The drive from Merida or Cancun is about 3 hours, but it's worth it as there's lots of other things to see up there as well. Flamingos, Mud Baths, Dolphins, etc.
If Mexico is on your travel list, and you find yourself in the Yucatan Peninsula, make the trip to Las Coloradas.

The Mexican state of Yucatan is located on the peninsula of the same name, bordered by the states of Quintana Roo and Campeche. The state capital is the beautiful colonial city of Merida, and other major cities and towns include Valladolid, Izamal and its port, Progreso, on the Gulf of Mexico. Yucatán offers the adventurous visitor a wealth in Mayan archaeological ruins (the most famous being Chichen Itza, Ek Balam, and Uxmal), stunning colonial architecture, important caves and grottoes, and ecological preserves and sanctuaries such as Río Lagartos and Celestun.
RÍO LAGARTOS
En este vídeo veremos nuestro viaje desde Tulúm hasta el pueblo de Río Lagartos, pasando por los pueblos de Temozón donde probamos sus carnes típicas ahumadas y por el pueblo de Tizimín, hasta llegar a Río Lagartos.
Donde nos alojamos en el hotel Río Lagartos y comimos en el restaurante Ría Maya los cuales recomiendo por su relación calidad precio y por su ubicación.
Tuvimos la oportunidad de conocer por primera vez al cangrejo armadura o cangrejo herradura.

LAS COLORADAS PINK LAKE - Mexico
Hidden away on the tip of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula is a magical place full of color, the stunning cotton-candy pink lakes of Las Coloradas. We jumped in to go swimming with a flamingo!
UPDATE: Swimming in the pink lakes around the factory is now off-limits. However you can still book tours from Rio Lagartos that visit a different section away from the factory where it’s possible to float in the pink water:

Mexico Las Coloradas Pink Lake / Pinker See in Mexico / Rio Lagartos
Wir haben uns auf die Suche nach dem Pinken See in Mexico gemacht. Zwar haben wir den Ort gefunden, jedoch war der See im Mai 2017 nicht Pink, sondern eher hell braun.
Das Wasser in der Lagune ist sehr salzhaltig, weswegen rund um den See Salzränder zu sehen sind. Je mehr Wasser in dem See verdunstet, desto höher wird die Konzentration der Mikroorganismen wie Algen oder Salzwasserkrebsen. Damit die Tiere trotz des hohen Salzgehalts überleben können, produzieren sie große Menge an Naturfarbstoffen, vor allem Beta Carotin. Dadurch färbt sich das Wasser pink. Das sind übrigens die gleichen Farbstoffe, die Tieren wie Flamingos und Shrimps durch ihr Futter ihre Farbe verleihen.
ExGringo - Slow Travel in Mexico - Introduction
In September of 2017 my family and I sold our house, packed away our things into a storage unit, and set off south of the border for what has turned out to be an unfolding adventure of indeterminate length in the beautiful country of Mexico.
Mexico is equally maligned and mythologized by gringos, but for those willing to look with open eyes and heart, all of the tropes and fears surrounding this unique country fall away and what’s left is a friendly people, a rich culture, delicious food, a beautiful and diverse ecology, and a fascinating history.
This is the story of my journey to becoming what I call an exgringo, an American gringo who has reached a deeper understanding of a country that is at the heart of my life. My wife is a Mexican immigrant to the United States and naturalized U.S. citizen and Mexican citizen and we’ve made a conscious decision to raise our daughter as bilingual, bi-cultural and as a dual citizen of both countries.
Join me as I live the struggle!
