Lac Rose excursion - Half-day from Saly
Lac Rose excursion - Half-day from Saly
A unique discovery of Lac Rose
Depart from your hotel in Saly or the surrounding area for Lac Rose, also known as Lac Retba, famous for having been the mythical final stage of the Paris-Dakar rally. This lake gets its pinkish hue from the presence of micro-organisms and variations in light throughout the day.
With a salt concentration of up to 380 grams per liter of water, it is one of the saltiest lakes in the world.
The exploration begins with a visit to the salt pans, where you'll discover the fascinating work of salt extraction carried out by Peul women from nearby villages, using traditional methods.
You'll continue with an all-terrain vehicle ride along the immense beach bordering the lake. This spectacular drive through dunes and wild landscapes offers many photo opportunities and panoramic stops.
For the more curious, it's possible to test the amazing floating effect in the lake's salt water, followed by a freshwater rinse in a nearby natural oasis.
The return to the hotel at the end of the day will conclude this adventure rich in discovery, exceptional scenery and unique sensations.
