Rio Lagartos is a well kept secret on the Yucatan Peninsula. It is a small fishing town in the north side of the Peninsula in the state of Yucatan. The town is the entrance to a wildlife reserve known as Ria Lagartos (Parque Natural Reserva Ria Lagartos).
Take a tour and see lots of birds species, crocodiles as well as different types of wildlife. You will also be able to go with the same tour, (on a boat) to Las Coloradas.
Las Coloradas is a really small town and it has Pink Lagoons from where it takes its name “Las Coloradas”.
The area is fundamental for the conservation of a number of species. For instance, its marshes are the only nesting site for the Caribbean pink flamingo and an important nesting site for turtles like critically endangered Hawksbill sea turtle and the green sea turtle. In fact, the wetlands feature a substantial number of rare, vulnerable and endangered species, like the Rhyncholaelia digbyana.
It is also an important resting place for migrating birds, like the black-necked stilt that spend the winters in the region.
