After a 2 hour walk through the argan forest, we'll arrive at a small women's cooperative in the heart of a village far from the road.
These women will explain to us what the argan tree is, an endemic variety of this region, and how they transform their nuts into oil.
The oil is used for cooking or as a beauty product. We'll share a lunch at the cooperative before returning home. Night at the hostel.

Day 5: CAPE SIM

Picnic in front of the ocean. To return to the hostel, we'll stay at the top of the mountain through the villages of Cape Sim and Ouassane.
It'll be the last night to breathe in the sea air ...
