Yucatán Colors Tour: Pink Lakes, Cenote & Beach From Merida
Overview
Embark on an unforgettable excursion to experience the natural beauty of Yucatán. This tour brings together four of the region’s main highlights in a single day. We’ll swim in a stunning cave cenote, visit the famous pink ponds, where you’ll witness the traditional salt harvesting process. We’ll also try to spot flamingos in their natural habitat. To top it all off, we’ll relax at one of Yucatán’s most popular beaches. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to discover the best of the Yucatán Peninsula in just a few hours!
*It is important to note that the ponds at the salt flats only appear pink from March to August. During the rest of the year, their color is more brownish. While it is still possible to visit the salt flats and learn about the salt production process, the water will not appear pink. From September to February, travelers are always offered the option to visit a nearby archaeological site instead or they can spend more time at the cenote or at Progreso Beach.
