    The activity is very interesting, although I think that more time should be available to be in the salt flats and take photos or walk around the designated areas, since in my opinion there is a lot of prior explanation and then a rush to get on the truck after each lading.

Río Lagartos Tours & Activities: Flamingo Watching & Nature Trips

Set on Mexico’s stunning Yucatán Peninsula, Río Lagartos is a magical spot known for its impressive biosphere and tranquil fishing village charm. Home to breathtaking landscapes, vibrant wildlife, and famous pink lagoons, it’s a true paradise for nature lovers, birdwatchers, and anyone craving serenity mixed with adventure.

A Glimpse into the Past

Long before it became a must-see ecotourism destination, Río Lagartos was a humble fishing community. Over centuries, rich Mayan heritage and a culture centered on the surrounding waters shaped the town. Now, it’s celebrated both for its traditions and its unique natural environment.

Best Time to Go

Sunny weather and mild temperatures make November through April the prime months to visit. This period avoids the rainy season and is perfect for spotting flamingos and other exotic wildlife. If you don’t mind a bit of rain, the summer months offer lush landscapes and fewer crowds.

Are flamingos always there?

Flamingos are most commonly seen from spring through early autumn. However, the area is rich in birdlife year-round, so nature lovers will always find something special.

How to get around?

Small group boat tours are the best way to explore the lagoons and mangroves. Walking or cycling is ideal for discovering the village itself.
