The flamingos are very beautiful, but I wouldn't do the tour on foot again, it's only possible on dusty roads or bike paths.
For a bike tour I recommend the Tour+

Hiking

During our hike we were able to observe around 20 animals in a group up close. A very special highlight of our hike.

Hiking

We were lucky and saw a lot of flamingos. There were some in almost every pool. A fantastic experience – a very worthwhile park. Only recommended to a limited extent in hot weather, as shade is scarce here!
