Gorgeous Central American Destinations That Won’t Break the Bank
22. See the Pink Salt Pools of Las Coloradas, Mexico

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.
