Itinerary and highlights

Visit the largest and most famous archaeological complex of the Yucatan Peninsula, "Chichen Itza"

Swimming in the crystal-clear waters of the mineral karst lake (cenote) IK-Kil, which is well know among travelers for its incredible beauty and the "Avatar" movie like scenery.

Exploration of the nature of the Ria Lagartos biosphere reserve, where you will wade on a boat through the mangroves and crocodiles looking for the flocks of pink flamingos.

Descent to the valley of the pink lakes "Las Coloradas", where due to the high concentration of salt and minerals, the water has acquired a rich pink color, and its consistency can be compared with the waters of the dead sea.
