The pink lakes of Las Coloradas are quite a spectacle in the proper weather conditions, getting their vibrant colors from the pink-colored bacteria, brine shrimp, and algae in the water. It’s become quite popular over the last few years, mostly fueled by picture-perfect Instagram photos.

But along with the lakes becoming famous, the owners started employing various tricks to make people pay a steep price for the “experience”, the move considered by many locals unethical. If you do wish to see these lakes, we recommend either discussing it with your guide on a Ria Lagartos boat tour (that you are most likely doing earlier in the day) or driving to Las Coloradas and purchasing tickets directly from the owners.
