Goats on the trees trip from Agadir
Witnessing the Unique Goats on Trees trip in Agadir
Are you ready for an extraordinary adventure? Join us on the “Goats on Trees” trip from Agadir, where you’ll witness a peculiar sight – goats perched on the branches of Argan trees. This is a must-see attraction for nature lovers, animal enthusiasts, and curious travelers who want to experience something truly unique and unforgettable.
Journey Through the Scenic Souss Region
Our journey begins with a comfortable ride through the picturesque countryside of the Souss region. As we drive, you’ll have the opportunity to admire the scenic beauty of the landscape, which is dotted with palm groves, olive trees, and fruit orchards.
The Fascinating Sight of Goats on Argan Trees
As we continue our drive, something incredible comes into view – herds of goats grazing on the leaves and fruits of the Argan trees. What’s even more surprising is that some of them are climbing the trees and hanging out on the branches, munching away happily.
The Argan tree is indigenous to Morocco and is known for its valuable oil, which is used in cosmetics, cooking, and medicine. The goats play an essential role in the production of Argan oil, as they help to disperse the seeds of the tree by eating the fruits and excreting the seeds, which are then collected and pressed to extract the oil. Witnessing the goats on the tree is not only a delightful spectacle but also an intriguing insight into the local way of life and traditions.
A Visit to an Argan Oil Cooperative
After spending some time watching the goats on the trees and taking pictures, our tour continues to a nearby Argan oil cooperative. Here, you can witness the traditional process of extracting the oil and learn about its various uses and benefits. You’ll also have the opportunity to purchase authentic Argan oil products, such as soaps, creams, and cosmetics, as souvenirs or gifts.
In Agadir, it is a common sight to see goats climbing trees in search of food. These agile creatures are able to climb trees as high as 10 meters, thanks to their unique hooves and dewclaws that allow them to grip and hold onto surfaces. The goats are often seen climbing the Argan trees, which are native to Morocco and grow in the arid regions of the country.
The Remarkable Climbing Ability of Goats
The goats’ ability to climb trees is truly remarkable. It’s amazing to see them scaling steep angles and jumping from branch to branch in search of food. They are attracted to the sweet smell of the Argan fruit, which they are able to digest despite the hard outer layer.
Exploring the Argan Tree Habitat
Goats in Agadir only climb one particular type of tree, the Argan tree, which can be found only in the middle of Morocco around the Atlas Mountains. The fruit’s pulp is what attracts the goats to the Argan trees. While the goats will happily keep all hooves firmly on the ground and graze on low-hanging fruit, once they have gobbled the easy-to-reach produce, they will scramble up into the tree in search of more.
Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to witness the “Goats on Trees” phenomenon in Agadir, a truly unique experience that you’ll remember for a lifetime.
