If you’re ever visit the Yucatan peninsula, you absolutely cannot miss going to Los Coloradas. The lakes here are visually stunning due to their pink color, which are created by the tiny critters living in the waters. To match the beautiful water, you can sometimes catch pink flamingoes that get their color from the same bacteria in the water. It’s certainly one of the most impressive sights you can see.
