The state of Yucatán, Mexico, has an incredible amount of natural wonders.
But there's a very special place that looks like it's taken straight out of a fairytale.
It's called Las Coloradas — aka the pink lake — located on the northern coast of Mexico in Ría Lagarto National Park.
The sanctuary was declared a protection zone for sea turtles over 25 years ago.
And it's a little oasis full of color.
Free of massive hotels and shopping malls.
The lake's bright pink color comes from the high concentration of salt and microorganisms in the water.
Fun fact: These same microorganisms are eaten by flamingos, giving the birds their vibrant hue.
The shore is lined with mountains of salt and crystals that make it look even more magical.
There's no way to resist its peace and tranquility.
I mean, just look at that cotton candy pink water.
