@kamageiger: The salt flats are made up of shallow ponds where seawater evaporates, leaving behind salt crystals. The pink color is due to the presence of salt-loving algae and bacteria that thrive in these conditions. Salt Harvesting: Locals have been harvesting salt from these lagoons for thousands of years using traditional methods. Xcambo Ruins: The nearby Xcambo archaeological site was once a major center for salt trade in the Mayan civilization. #saltflats #saltcrystals #salttrade #lagoon #lagoons
