Las Coloradas Parque Turistico

"Las Coloradas are a group of salt-producing pools that acquire different colors, famous for when they are pink. The location is far from Merida but is worth a visit if you are in the eastern part of Yucatan. It operates both as a tourist park and an active salt-producing plant, everything being privately owned. You can visit in three different ways: on foot, by bus or by bicycle. They each have a cost ranging from 270 to 670 pesos. The place is mainly for taking pictures and admiring the impressive colors as you cannot swim in the pools; however, there is a beach close enough to visit when you are done. If you decide to go, remember that the pools do not always have the pink colors for which they are famous. "
