CHEVAL ESSAOUIRA
Iftane 4 Days
Ride through Eucalyptus and Argan forests, small Berber villages and authentic Moroccan countryside. The highlight of this itinerary is the wild and remote beach of Iftane, and the coves and caves of the coast that are accessible only by foot or on a horseback! Having dinner under the stars, singing and dancing around the campfire and falling asleep to the sound of the ocean waves will stay in your memory for a long time.
