Mexico🇲🇽 , Rio Lagartos

The Rio Lagartos Nature Reserve on the Yucatan Peninsula is one of the most striking natural attractions of the Caribbean coast of Mexico.

Here are the pink lakes of Las Coloradas. The water in them is really pink. Lakes are artificial reservoirs used for salt extraction. The color of the water is determined by the high concentration of salt and microorganisms living in this water.

You can't swim in lakes and even wet your feet, because the extracted salt is used for food purposes. And the lakes themselves are surrounded by a moat in many places, so it is not always possible to get close to the water. In the same place where you can approach the water, you will have to pay 50 MXN per person for entering the territory of the salt-producing plant.

The lakes got their name thanks to the pink-tinged water. The snow-white shore bordering the reservoirs and the blue azure of the sky complete the stunning picture.
