On the way to Tafraout, enjoy breathtaking views as you pass through impressive mountain ranges, overlooking deep valleys and traditional villages perched on the hillsides.
Tafraout, a small Berber-speaking town located in the heart of the Ammelne Valley, about 180 km south of Agadir, is surrounded by stunning scenery: pink granite boulders, lush palm groves, and fascinating rock formations. Begin your visit in this peaceful, colorful oasis, known for its authentic atmosphere and uniquely shaped rocks.

Among the highlights, you'll discover the Painted Rocks, a monumental art installation created in the 1980s by Belgian artist Jean Verame, as well as the famous Lion's Head, a natural rock formation that resembles a lion’s profile.

A traditional Moroccan lunch will be served in a local restaurant, offering a complete cultural experience.
In the afternoon, the journey continues along scenic roads lined with almond trees and green oases, descending gradually from the mountains.
