Las Coloradas
Río Lagartos, Mexico
Las Coloradas is a surreal landscape of vibrant pink lagoons located on the Yucatán Peninsula. The color comes from red algae, plankton, and brine shrimp thriving in high-salinity conditions. Visitors are drawn to the stunning contrast of pink water against a backdrop of blue skies and expansive salt flats in the Ría Lagartos Biosphere Reserve.
