My Experiences With Pink Lakes

If you are connecting with me and us for the first time with FIT Life Creation, I traveled to Mexico for the third time in 2019 creating content, being hosted on an adventure with Airbnb, and of course limitless transformational experiences

My adventure with Airbnb included a day trip to Pink Lakes. It is as amazing as it looks.

It was interesting visiting Mexico 20+ years later with all the changes in my life. I reflected on how my health, wealth, business have transformed.

Fun Facts About Pink Lakes, Mexico

Bright, beautiful and breathtaking are high up on my list of travel adventures. My story includes being conceived in Bulgaria, born in Poland, and in 4 countries by the time I was 2 (including a refugee camp in Italy.) 27+ countries later on my way to 100+ countries.

Pink Lakes, Mexico was a bucket list item of mine for yours because of the color pink, unique experience and photo opps.

If you are curious how and why the Pink Lakes are so pink, blame the red-colored algae, plankton and shrimp that thrive on the salty environment near the plant.

Years ago, you could swim in the water. However, due to the contamination from lotions to the salt production it is no longer allowed. You are escorted with a guide the entire time. Currently (as of Dec 2019), you may take photos only with camera phones due to an incident with a photographer in 2019 who did not properly request a permit for professional photography.

Reasons to Stay in Mexico Longer than One Day

There are many reasons to stay longer in Mexico in general. I've been three times to Mexico now, and continue to experience new things each time. I decided next time I come to Mexico I will definitely spend at least 4+ days in Holbox Island.

Valladolid, Mexico

Valladolid, a bright colonial town reminds me of Cuba and brought back memories of my time in Cuba with our retreats.

Valladolid is breathtaking with beautiful colonial homes, colorful streets, and Cenote Zaci in the middle of town! Add a stop to Valladolid to your trip - you will love it!
