Before arriving book a driver with Happy Shuttles to take you the three hour drive.

Drive through jungles, farms with many cows, and pueblitos all while practicing your Spanish with Yoni, who also speaks English, but that's no fun. Finally arrive at Las Calorados, where dozens of men eagerly await to charge you 200 pesos ($10) for entry. Enjoy the pink lakes, learn about the salt process, take a lot of photos, stare at the pink, think about pink, rosado, pink, salt, oh my! Think, "I go where I want to be!" Exclaim with your best friend and Yoni, how beautiful the day is! Say goodbye to the pink lake. Drive 20 minutes away to pueblito Rio Lagartos. Take a biosphere tour making friends with crocodiles, flamingos, and prehistoric horseshoe crabs. Stay at the Villa Pescadoes, which is across from the turquoise water and. Eat ceviche.
