I just came back from the 5 days Fes and Chefchaouen Adventure, and it was absolutely phenomenal! Every day was filled with totally different activities that were truly impressive.
I also had an interesting visit to Issaguen, where I learned about the local cannabis production in a very responsible and informative way. The ideal way to cap off my tour was to explore Grotte Friouato and end my excursion in Tazekka National Park. This should be recommended guys 🙂

From the very beginning to the end it was an amazing tour! 👌 We went through the lovely Rif Mountains starting in Fes and arriving in Chefchaouen, every place was perfect with the nice weather. Here you get to see the old-worldly ambiance of Oualili; contemporary life rhythm in Rabat; or natural environment near Akchour Waterfall; even have a profound insight into marijuana cultivation process after visiting Isaugen’s farm.🫶🏻
