Río Lagartos

Biosphere

We start our nature adventure with a 2 hrs boat ride in the fishing village of Rio Lagartos, at 104km/64 miles from Valladolid. You’ll see a lot of birds before wondering its main attraction: the pink flamingos.

Flamingos

This ría hosts, besides almost 400 bird species, the largest Mexican pink flamingo colony. You can admire them all year round because here they have the food and the perfect weather to stay.

Mayan bath

On the way back, you can try a Mayan bath. It’s an ancient Mayan tradition for skin care. The natural white clay with salt helps to soften and rejuvenate your skin.

Las Coloradas

Picture stop at these beautiful Pink lakes.*

Ek Balam

Archaeological site

Ek Balam or ‘Black Jaguar’ is one of the most important archaeological sites of Yucatan.

The main palace is higher than the Kukulcán temple in Chichén Itzá and you still can climb the structures.

Stucco facade

It’s almost intact stucco facade of a Maya mausoleum makes it different to all the other Mayan sites.

A certified guide will tell you everything about this ancient capital city.

Note: If you´ve already visited several archaeological sites and you prefer something else you could visit the cenote X’canche while the group is at the site (entrance not included).

* the lakes are not Pink the whole year. There is no exact date.
* Optional entrance fee not included. You can already take nice pictures where we stop. No cameras allowed, only cellphones.
