Your adventure begins at Lake Retba, better known as Lac Rose, a rare natural phenomenon where the water shimmers in shades of pink due to salt-loving algae and sunlight. As you approach, the colors shift with the wind, creating an ever-changing spectacle. You’ll learn about the lake’s unique ecosystem and the traditional salt harvesting methods practiced by local workers, who wade into the mineral-rich waters to collect crystallized salt by hand. For those who wish, there’s an opportunity to float effortlessly in the lake’s buoyant surface, a sensation similar to the Dead Sea.
