La Vie en Rose 🌸 —— Las Coloradas - Mexico’s Gorgeous Pink Lakes. Located on the northern coast of the Yucatan peninsula, they are about a 3 hour drive from Tulum or Cancun. On the way back, make sure to stop by the breathtaking quaint town of Valladolid, find the clock tower, and go to the rooftop bar right across from it - you won’t regret it! The COLOR of the lakes comes from an industrial process of extracting salt from the sea. The lakes host a population of “artemia salina”, a species of microorganisms that improve the efficiency of these production pods as they feed on the particles suspended in the water, leaving the salt ponds “clean”. The combination of red algae, plankton, and brine shrimp give the water it’s famous pink color! I couldn’t believe my eyes how vibrant and majestic it was!
