8/10/2025

If you’re the kind of traveler who loves discovering the world on two wheels, feeling the wind on your face, and exploring at your own pace, Las Coloradas has the perfect route for you: The Pink Lagoon Route.

This bike tour takes you through landscapes so stunning they look like they belong on a postcard… or another planet.
Here, pedaling is not just exercise—it’s contemplation, photography, learning, and a true connection with nature.

What is the Pink Lagoon Route?

It’s a guided bicycle tour through the salt crystallizers, where the water takes on vibrant pink hues due to natural phenomena and traditional salt-extraction methods.

This route allows you to get up close to one of Yucatán’s most iconic landscapes and understand why Las Coloradas has gone viral worldwide.

During the ride, an expert guide will share fascinating insights about:

  • The origin of the pink color

  • The history of the saltworks

  • The biodiversity surrounding the area (yes, including flamingos!)

  • The ecological importance of this unique ecosystem


Tour Duration

You can choose between two options, depending on your time and energy:

  • 30 minutes – ideal for a short visit, perfect for photos and an introduction to the site.

  • 60 minutes – for those who want to take their time, enjoy every stop, and experience it fully.

Both options are accessible, with flat, well-marked paths suitable for all visitors, always accompanied by a certified guide.

Perfect for Curious and Adventurous Cyclists

The Pink Lagoon Route isn’t just for experienced cyclists.
It’s perfect for anyone who enjoys cycling as a way to explore the world with freedom, no rush, and all senses awake.

The path is flat and safe, surrounded by salt mirrors, pink tones, and open skies.

  • You can stop to take photos, admire the scenery, and listen to the guide.

  • It’s an active yet light experience—no training required, just the desire to pedal and be amazed.

A Unique Landscape to Photograph and Remember

The pink tones change throughout the day. Sunlight intensity, the color of the sky, and the texture of the water make every moment unique, while the season also influences the shades of the lagoons.

It’s a perfect setting for those who love capturing original, vibrant, and completely natural images.
Being on a bike also allows you to reach unique spots and constantly shift perspectives. Every angle, a new postcard.
