Las Coloradas: It is the most stable commercial point of the state of Yucatan for its constant production and distribution of salt, because it is here where one of the largest salt mines in Mexico is located, which has been equipped with high-level machinery. In addition to the industry that is developed here, it also has beautiful beaches, to which visitors arrive daily from different parts of Yucatan and even from the country since it is an area that is little exploited, so the sand is coarse and the waters are clean.

Upon the arrival of the Spaniards, it became the most revered center of worship and pilgrimage in the Yucatan peninsula. At present, it is a Sacred Center for the Mayans.
