In fact, its salt industry is the largest and most important in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/vidaenyucatan.com\/en\/2019\/12\/5-cenotes-cerca-de-merida\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\">The most beautiful cenotes near M\u00e9rida.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Las_Coloradas_Yucatan_%C2%BFpor_que_es_rosa_el_agua\"><\/span><strong>Las Coloradas Yucat\u00e1n Why is the water pink?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The main attraction, of this pink beach near Cancun, are <strong>its waters of particular salmon color<\/strong>, which vary in intensity, depending on the greater amount of salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since Mayan times, this area has been used for<strong> salt extraction<\/strong>. As the lagoons are shallow, the <strong>plankton, red algae and shrimp<\/strong> they thrive in the environment and paint the waters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the evaporation of water, these species become more concentrated turning the surface pink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The landscape is even more impressive, because <strong>during the months of April and May<\/strong>, is home to a large community of flamingos, which are also pink and frame the canvas of Las Coloradas Yucat\u00e1n. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you feel tempted <strong>you cannot bathe in the lagoon<\/strong>.
