We go to the argan forest, a species endemic to southwestern Morocco. The argan tree is the mythical tree, the true emblem of the region of Essaouira.

For your children, you can choose the option of taking a small donkey for a large part of the route (except Wednesdays).
The walk will end with a visit to an artisanal argan oil production cooperative. You will discover there the meticulous work carried out by women to extract the precious argan oil.
