Highlights

Itinerary

Begin your Rio Lagartos Excursion early in the morning by meeting your guide at your Cancun or Riviera Maya accommodations. Get ready for an exciting adventure through some of the most impressive natural wonders of the Yucatan Peninsula. Our journey begins with a visit to the caramel-colored wonders of Las Coloradas, a place like no other. The salt evaporation lagoons of this place are a photographer’s dream, where nature blends vibrant shades of pink, orange, and purple to create surreal and otherworldly landscapes.

After soaking in the sights, we’ll head to the tranquil Cancunito Beach, a hidden paradise where you can relax and cool off. Dip your toes into the crystal-clear turquoise waters, and feel the soft powdery sand beneath your feet as you unwind in the sun’s warmth. This beach is the perfect spot to relax, take in the beauty of nature, and bask in the peaceful surroundings. Whether you prefer to swim or simply lounge, Cancunito Beach offers an ideal escape from the everyday hustle and bustle.

Next, we continue our adventure to the magical Rio Lagartos, a biodiversity hotspot located on the northwest coast of the Yucatán. Here, we’ll hop on a boat ride through the winding mangroves of this biosphere reserve, surrounded by lush greenery and serene waters. As the boat glides through the mangroves, you’ll have the chance to spot some of the area’s most remarkable wildlife, including flamingos that paint the sky with their pink feathers. Seeing these elegant birds in their natural habitat is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will stay with you forever.

Get ready to dance to the rhythm of nature, explore beautiful landscapes, and create lasting memories as you immerse yourself in the colors, wildlife, and beauty of Rio Lagartos.
