Departure from your hotel for Lac Rose, the final stage of the Paris – Dakar Rally. The lake was born from a lagoon, which a movement of the dunes, along the sea, ended up closing in the 15th century. It is a few hundred meters from the ocean, in the middle of a landscape of dunes and bush. Its particularity is quite exceptional, it is pink when the sun is full and at dusk, the pink darkens until it takes on shades of mauve or violet. In addition to its color, its high salinity (300 gr/litre) places it in second position after the Dead Sea. Everything floats there. This saline concentration allows the women of the surrounding villages to directly extract the salt which settles at the bottom of the lake. The visit to the saltworks will allow you to witness the extraction of salt by the Fulani women of the surrounding villages. This exploitation, by means of woodpeckers, is a windfall that supports a large number of families. Then, ride in an all-terrain vehicle between the sand dunes
