The famous pink lakes of Mexico, Rio Lagartos. A magical sight! Pink waters and blue sky, It was like sunset reversed; a feast for eyes! There are plenty of colorful salt lakes near Las Coloradas/Rio Lagartos in the Yucatan peninsula. It is just 2 hours drive away from Chichén Itzá and around 3 hours from Cancun. Public transport is scarce in this part of Mexico.
We took a rental car and it was an easy and comfortable journey for us :) Once we reached Las Coloradas, we were welcomed by giant white salt mountains. After driving around the salt mountains for some time, we finally found someone local who took us to this beautiful private salt lake.

Hotel Riu Palace Las Americas - Adults Only- All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing staff, amazing food and the entertainment was really fun! They had stuff to do all day long. "

Emporio Cancun Optional All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was amazingly helpful and friendly. Everything was so clean and beautiful. Most of the resort restaurants order from the same kitchen which is interesting. But menu choices are slightly different. This resort is close to many options for shopping, restaurants, activities. I would definitely stay here again"
