The most amazing lake in the world

How many lakes on the planet? It is unrealistic to count. But there are not so many special ones. Tourists seek to come to them and look at amazing landscapes. We have selected for you the most stunning lakes with an unusual color of water - pink. Pink color is given to water by special algae that produce carotenoid organic pigments. They just turn ordinary reservoirs into real wonders of nature.

You can find pink lakes in completely different parts of the world. So choose where you go on a trip!

Hiller Lake, Australia

Hiller Lake with its fantastic color is a true dream of all travelers. However, getting there is not so simple: there are no roads, water navigation, too, so the only option is air transport. Alas, this is not the cheapest option that few people can afford. So only one thing remains for some: to take pictures from the side of an airplane flying over the lake. But the bird's-eye view is also stunning, because Hiller is separated from the ocean by a narrow strip of land, planted with a dense eucalyptus forest.

Well, if someone is still lucky enough to visit the shore of this miracle of nature, or maybe swim, then do not forget to bring the main souvenir - pink water. The fact is that the water collected in the container remains invariably pink.

By the way, Australia is generally popular for its pink lakes, there are other bodies of water with a stunning color of water: Laguna Hutt, Lake Kwairading.

Retba Lake, Senegal

Rethba is not far from Dakar, it was here that the participants of the Paris Rally-Dakar Rally once arrived. Algae give an amazing color to the reservoir, and during the drought the shade of the lake is even more saturated.

True, we hasten to warn everyone who wants to swim: if you stay in water for more than ten minutes, you can get burns. But still, it is definitely worth diving into these pink waters, because swimming in the pink lake is a unique experience.

By the way, locals have found a way out of a dangerous situation: they rub shea butter in their skin, which protects tissues from damage. True, they do not do this in order to engage in swimming in pink water. Salt has been mined at Retba since the 1970s, so workers have to spend 6-7 hours in the water.

Salinas de Torrevieja, Spain

Salinas de Torrevieja is another amazing lake (this time in Europe). The pond, along with its neighbor, the salt lake La Mata - the largest salt lake in Europe. They are located near the Spanish coastal city of Torrevieja, in this territory there is a special microclimate, which is recognized by the World Health Organization as the healthiest in this part of the world. So it’s not only useful to dive into the pink waters of the Salinas de Torrevieja, but also just lie on the beach. They say it prevents lung and skin diseases. A real natural hospital.

Dusty Rose Lake, Canada

Dusty Rose or Dusty Pink Lake is located in British Columbia. Surprisingly, it is very different from our previous heroes: it is a fresh lake, and there are no algae that tint water. The unusual color is due to a unique combination of minerals: the lake is located near a mountain, the glacier of which feeds Dusty Rose.

Masazyrgol Lake, Azerbaijan

Not far from Baku is the large Masazyrgol lake with an area of 10 square kilometers. There is practically no vegetation here, and even rare birds - too high salinity. The water contains excess sulfate and chloride, and they give a reddish tint to Masazyrgöl.

Koyashskoe Lake, Russia

Incredible landscapes of the pink lake can be found in Russia. Koyashsky salt lake is located in Crimea, in spring its waters are pale pink, and by the middle of summer they become more saturated, gradually turning into red. Salt coast surrounds Lake Koyashsky, and here and there, real icebergs made of salt are found here and there.

The landscapes here are incredible: Koyashskoye Lake is literally on the Black Sea.

A narrow strip of land separates the reservoir from the sea, which in some places is hardly more than a hundred meters wide. In spring, wildflowers and wild tulips bloom around Koyashsky Lake, and then everything around them burns out from the ruthless sun, which turns coastal territories into a salt desert. True, the landscapes from this become even more fantastic.

Laguna Colorado, Bolivia

South America also boasts a stunning pink lake. Laguna Colorado is located in Bolivia, near the border with Chile, and it was even nominated for one of the seven natural wonders of the world in 2007. Unusual color is given to water not only by algae, but also by sedimentary rocks. Laguna Colorado also has its own icebergs, though crystalline - these are small islands of borax.

Not only the color of the water makes the lake fantastic, but also its inhabitants. The fact is that pink flamingos live on the shores! And what could be more amazing than pink flamingos on the background of a pink lake? And do not need any pink glasses)
