Goats on Trees Trip from Taghazout
Prepare for an extraordinary adventure as we embark on the “Goats on Trees” trip from Taghazout. This unique experience offers a captivating sight – goats perched on the branches of Argan trees. Nature enthusiasts, animal lovers, and curious travelers, get ready for an unforgettable journey.
A Scenic Ride Through the Souss Region
Our excursion commences with a comfortable drive through the picturesque landscapes of the Souss region. The countryside is adorned with palm groves, olive trees, and fruit orchards, providing a feast for the eyes.
Marvel at Goats on Argan Trees
As we continue our journey, a remarkable sight unfolds before us – herds of goats feasting on the leaves and fruits of the Argan trees. What makes this spectacle even more astonishing is that some goats are adept climbers, perching on the branches and munching away contentedly.
The Argan tree, native to Morocco, is renowned for its valuable oil used in cosmetics, cooking, and medicine. These goats play a crucial role in the Argan oil production process by aiding in seed dispersal through their consumption and subsequent excretion. The collected seeds are then pressed to extract the oil. Watching goats on trees (Fly Goats) offers not just a delightful spectacle but also a glimpse into local traditions and ways of life.
Visit an Argan Oil Cooperative
After spending time observing the goats in the trees and capturing memorable moments, our tour proceeds to a nearby Argan oil cooperative. Here, you can witness the traditional oil extraction process, learn about its diverse applications and benefits, and even purchase genuine Argan oil products like soaps, creams, and cosmetics, perfect as souvenirs or gifts.
In Taghazout, the sight of goats climbing trees in search of food is a common occurrence. Their incredible climbing ability, aided by unique hooves and dewclaws, enables them to ascend trees as tall as 10 meters. Goats are often seen ascending Argan trees, which are native to Morocco and flourish in the country’s arid regions.
Witness the Remarkable Climbing Ability
The goats’ ability to scale trees is nothing short of remarkable. Watching them navigate steep angles and leap from branch to branch while foraging for food is truly amazing. Their attraction to the sweet scent of Argan fruit is undeniable, and they can digest the pulp despite its tough exterior.
Exploring the Argan Tree Habitat
These goats exclusively climb Argan trees, which are found primarily in the heart of Morocco, around the Atlas Mountains. They are drawn to the fruit’s pulp. After consuming easily accessible fruit, they nimbly ascend the tree in search of more.
Don’t miss the incredible opportunity to witness the “Goats on Trees” phenomenon in Taghazout. It’s a unique experience that will leave an indelible mark on your memory.
