Pirogue trip
Discover the lake from the water.
A trip on the salt lake, close to the harvesting areas, from 20 minutes to 1 h 30.
The experience
Seen from the water, Lac Rose reads differently: the colour shifts with the angle of the sun, and you get close to the areas where salt is harvested by hand.
The trip is led by a local boatman who explains how the lake works, its salinity and the harvesters' work.
It is the calmest activity we offer, and the most explanatory. It is also the best one for photographing the lake.
