The northwestern corner of the Yucatán Peninsula is one of my favorite sights from an airplane. Although this picture does no justice to it —you can actually see my reflection on the window :P—, it depicts a portion of the beautiful Celestún Biosphere Reserve, where the fresh waters from the underground rivers engage in an endless flowing dance with the salty waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
Down below, these extensive wetlands create a unique ecosystem, which is chosen as a temporary or permanent home by various species of flamingos, crocodiles, turtles, birds, and other sea creatures. With its high concentration of carotene, these crimson marshes give flamingos its characteristic pink color.
And from high above, the contrast of ruby, emerald, and turquoise is breathtaking.
