In the heart of the Vatable forest a pontoon appears, several kayaks are waiting for you. Follow the guide along the bank to reach the Vatable river. This is where you can go into the mangrove. A mangrove is when fresh water and salt water meet to form brackish water. The emblematic tree of this ecosystem is the mangrove tree, which can be found here in red, black or white. Keep an eye out for dozens of small yellow crabs scuttling along the roots in search of food! At each stop, your guide will tell you more about the importance of this ecosystem and its role in preserving the coastline.
