Located an hour Northwest of Cancún is a place of otherworldly beauty like you’ve never experienced. It’s a body of water called Las Coloradas.

And not just any body of water! Red plankton and microscopic algae give the water an opaque pink hue. Flamingoes cluster together in the sand. Huge piles of white salt line the shore, gleaming in the sun.

Thank you, Mother Nature, for this magical place.
