🇲🇽 Watch this BEFORE you plan a visit to the PINK Lake of Las Coloradas in Yucatan, Mexico

We are Cindy and Eddie from SQUEEZEtheDAY!!!
Not every trip is going to be the trip of a lifetime. On our excursion to Las Coloradas, we weren’t prepared for any of it. So watch this video so you can see what we learned along the way. In addition to watching the video, we’re going to tell you a little more about it here. For the most part, we can easily find something to love about a new destination. This trip showed us that not every trip is worth taking. There’s a couple reasons why.
As beautiful as a pink lake is, there’s no direction on how to gain access to the lake, like a sign at the entrance, so when the “patrol” tells you to get off the sand hill next to the lake where you’re taking your pictures, and you don’t know where to go to get to the entry point, you’re left wandering around wondering what to do next. Of course, you can just stand next to the moat that surrounds the lake and take your pictures, but of course that same self-appointed “patrol'' is going to tell you not to.
If you happen to find the entrance, they’re charging an exorbitant fee of $300 pesos or $15 dollars per person to get in. This doesn’t include a “tour guide” which will cost extra or a bicycle to ride around it which costs a lot extra. And since you can’t do anything at the lake except walk around it taking pictures, it’s not like that money is paying for anything except for people to stand around collecting your money.
Well, what about grabbing some food after your costly visit? The few restaurants that surround the lake are way overpriced. We were lucky to find a family run place with delicious food and reasonable prices. Plus, they were the first people who talked to us in a friendly, welcoming way, as if they appreciated the few tourists that come to this out of the way town.
Overall, we won’t plan a return and can’t recommend anyone going before they know what they’re getting into. If you absolutely MUST have a picture of naturally pink water, make sure you’re carrying enough money to pay for it and know exactly where the entrance is. Might we suggest that your time could be best spent in any of the many other tourist locations on the Yucatan peninsula. And if you need pink water, most bars know how to make the Pink Flamingo cocktail.
That concludes this trip, however there are many more to follow. Make sure you like and subscribe as well as select the notifications bell so you can keep up with us. We would also love to hear your thoughts on the video so go ahead and leave a comment below. And as always, Squeeze the Day!!!

Who we are:
We are Cindy and Eddie from Pennsylvania. We started our KZbin channel in April 2020 after the world took a pause. Since then, we’ve been working to find ways to travel full time on a budget, with a cat. Meet Cinders, a 20 year old black cat with the calmest personality you’ll ever meet in a cat. She goes where we go, and we want you to go with us too. Enjoy our videos as we show you what we find along the way.
Our first trips were local to our area, Bucks County, and limited to days we weren’t working full time jobs or being restricted by lock-downs. In November of 2020, an opportunity presented itself and we decided to take our travel trailer out of storage and travel full time across America. Our current goal of visiting all 50 states has been delayed, but we haven’t given up. Keep following along to see what we're up to next.

This is so helpful, thank you! I booked our trip to the Yucatan area before I looked into planning some of our activities and I had no idea how much everything is commercialized and costs money, even natural things. There is so much information overload out there and I don't feel like any of it feels concrete- your experience helped me!!
