Though technically just beyond Central America, Las Coloradas in Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula is a mind-blowing, off-the-beaten-path destination that feels like stepping into a dream. Here, the landscape is painted pink by natural salt flats, creating a surreal contrast with the blue sky and white sand dunes. Though swimming is prohibited, the otherworldly views and flamingo sightings make it well worth a visit—especially for those seeking unique travel photography opportunities.
