Bureau des Bateliers Discover the Landes Amazon by galupe (traditional flat-bottomed boat).

The Huchet stream, a veritable umbilical cord which flows through the Landes communes of Vielle Saint Girons, Léon and Moliets and Maa over more than 600 hectares, is one of the most diverse and richest sites in the region, classified as a nature reserve, whether in terms of ecosystems or biotope.

The galupe (traditional flat-bottomed boat) trip along the waterway connecting the Léon pond and the Atlantic Ocean allows you to discover a succession of landscapes between marshes, peat bogs and dunes, where many unsuspected and protected animal species nest, including 200 species of birds, otters, minks, grey herons, European pond turtles and a quantity of fish.
Indeed the current is teeming with them and has become a popular spot for fishermen : the fish trap was used by fishermen to catch eels.

Also, the boatmen will introduce you to " the Landes Amazon " which is particularly rich in flora, notably with its famous bald cypresses, its arums and other varieties... It constitutes a nature reserve appreciated by botanists.

Taking a flat-bottomed boat down to the dune is an unforgettable 12km exotic journey…
