Like from another planet: Natural pink lagoon in Mexico

10:01:00 AM

The lagoon in Las Coloradas attracts huge number of tourists and it is not hard to see why. Rose colored water makes you feel like you're in a magical place, or on another planet.
Beautiful water with naturally vivid color is located on the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico.
The pink color is due to the large amount of shrimp and seaweed rich in carotenoids that are found in the water. Those are the algae that are eaten by the flamingos which is why they get the pink color.
Las Coloradas was a mining place in the past for mining salt. Thats why it has grunges of white salts over the water.
