Lac Rose excursion - Half-day
Lac Rose excursion - Half-day
A unique experience at Lac Rose
Leaving your hotel, head for the mythical Lac Rose, one of Senegal's most stunning sites. This unique lake, whose hues vary from pale pink to intense mauve depending on the light, is famous for its high salinity - almost 380 grams of salt per liter of water - allowing it to float effortlessly, much like the Dead Sea.
You'll start with a visit to the salt works, where you'll discover the artisanal salt extraction work, mainly carried out by Peul women from the surrounding villages. To better appreciate this traditional activity, enjoy a pirogue ride on the lake, as close as possible to the extraction areas, where you can watch the salt pickers in action.
A major venue for the Paris-Dakar rally, Lac Rose has long been the emblematic finishing point of this legendary race, adding a mythical dimension to the landscape.
Continue on a 4×4 ride through dunes, beach and Sahelian vegetation, with the Atlantic Ocean as your backdrop. This adventure will take you to an immense beach offering breathtaking panoramas.
The more curious can test the floating effect in the lake's salt water, then rinse off in a natural freshwater oasis, for a feeling of total well-being.
The return to the hotel marks the end of an emotionally-charged half-day of wilderness, local traditions and spectacular scenery.
