This is one of our short tours. We will visit the archaeological site of Ek-Balam; in the Mayan language “black jaguar”, we will swim in the turquoise waters of the Xcanahaltun cenote and we will walk through the streets of the beautiful city Valladolid. The next day we will go to Las Coloradas Touristic Park.
We will take a boat ride through the estuary of the Ria Lagartos Biosphere Reserve, the favorite place of thousands of flamingos that nest (they lay only one egg a year) and take care of their young. We will also have the opportunity to see other species of birds and with some luck, some amphibians and reptiles too. In the town of Las Coloradas, we will visit between dunes and mangroves, the "lagoons" of the Salinera de Yucatan, whose colors will make you think of landscapes out of a fantastic dream. The tones of the water are due to the high concentration of halobacteria and microalgae.
