A boat tour through the mangroves of Rio Lagartos is an unforgettable journey through a unique natural landscape. The calm glide of the boat through the clear water allows visitors to absorb the beauty and tranquillity of the surroundings.
The dense mangrove forests stretch along the banks, their branching roots a home for a variety of animal species. Birds fly over the waterways and make their melodious calls, while crocodiles bask in the sun and watch the passing boats with their eyes.

3. las Coloradas, the pink lagoons
Las Coloradas, the pink lagoons on the coast of Yucatán, Mexico, are a fascinating natural phenomenon that attracts visitors from all over the world. The vivid pink lagoons are created by the high concentration of salt and microorganisms, which cause a spectacular coloration.
The journey to the lagoons leads through a barren landscape that contrasts with the intense pink of the waters. However, as soon as you reach the lagoons, you are overwhelmed by their surreal beauty.
The sparkling water shimmers in various shades of pink and purple, depending on the incidence of light and salt concentration. The reflections of the sky and the surrounding vegetation enhance the magic of this place and allow visitors to immerse themselves in another world.
Salt deposits stretch along the shoreline, which look like snow-white beaches and form an interesting contrast to the vivid pink of the water. Birds such as flamingos and pelicans make their rounds in the distance and complete the picturesque picture.
A walk along the lagoons allows visitors to experience the unique beauty of this natural wonder up close. The tranquillity of the surroundings and the peaceful atmosphere contribute to making this place an unforgettable experience.
Las Coloradas are not only a visual spectacle, but also a place that invites visitors to appreciate and preserve the beauty and fragility of nature. It is a place of peace and inspiration that will remain in your memory long after your visit.
4th stop, lunch in Rio Lagartos
Lunch in Rio Lagartos is a delicious temptation for the senses. Fresh fish from the Gulf of Mexico, accompanied by local flavors and spices, is served in the cozy restaurants along the waterfront. Under the shade of the palm trees, you can enjoy not only the food, but also the relaxed atmosphere and the hospitable company of the locals. It is a culinary experience that perfectly captures the beauty and flavor of this coastal city.

Echt toller Ausflug für die gesamte Familie. Wir haben Krokodile , verschiedenste Vögel und Flamingos gesehen . Die Laguna war zwar rosa, aber nicht ganz so pink wie auf den Bildern. Laut Guide falsche Jahreszeit.

Wir waren anfangs Februar 2025 auf dieser Tour. Wir haben Krokodile, Flamingos, Pelikane und weitere diverse Vogelarten gesehen. Die pinke Lagune war auch traumhaft, man darf dort aber nicht ins Wasser. Das Mittagessen war ebenfalls sehr lecker. Die Anfahrt ist sehr lange, aber mit der super Unterhaltung im Bus, kam es uns gar nicht so lange vor. Vielen Dank an unseren Guide Ata, es war so interessant, lustig und die lange Fahrt ging wie im Flug herum. Wir werden Mexiko in naher Zukunft wieder bereisen und auch wieder bei diesem Anbieter Touren buchen.

Gigantisch. Ein Super Ausflug nur 6 Personen alles auf Deutsch. Konnten sehr nah an die Flamingos und Krokodile. Die Tiere hatte keine Angst von uns da wir nur kleine Gruppe waren. Pinke Lagune ist einmalig.
Sehr zum empfehlen.
