Cancun to Yucatan: Las Coloradas, Rio Lagartos & Ek Balam

 

  This Cancun tour to Yucatan brings you the very best of our neighbor state, nature, history and culture in one fabulous Yucatan excursion. 

  First stop is the Mayan ruins of Ek Balam. Ek Balam may not be as famous or as large as Chichen Itza, but it is a stunning Mayan ruins site close to Valladolid and you can still climb the magnificent structures. The view from atop the Ek Balam Acropolis will take your breath away and the perfectly preserved carvings and relics bring you back in time to the fascinating ancient Mayan world.  ,

 Second stop is the Las Coloradas, Yucatan. The famous pink lakes of Las Coloradas are truly otherworldly, the pink hues a result of microscopic algae create a magical landscape of contrasts. You'll enjoy a guided tour of these salty lagoons before heading on to the next stop, the Rio Lagartos Biosphere. Rio Lagartos (aka Ria Lagartos) is a protected area rich in exotic flora and fauna, a bird watchers DREAM! Board a small boat for a Rio Lagartos tour of the canals and lagoons, meet the local crocodiles and watch the flamingos walk on water. You'll enjoy the natural properties of the clay mud, give yourself a full body mud spa treatment in the "Mayan Bath" for the softest skin and enjoy a private beach for relaxing moments of bliss.
