Upcoming Events

  • Chouwen Lake Hike – Jabal Moussa Biosphere Reserve

    Chouwen Lake, nestled within the Jabal Moussa Biosphere Reserve along the banks of the Ibrahim River, is one of Lebanon’s most captivating natural treasures. Covering about 6,500 hectares, this reserve offers breathtaking views, unique flora and fauna, and unforgettable landscapes.

    Our journey will take us through the charming village of Chouwen, where we’ll begin a moderate-level hike.

    Hike Details
    Level 4 – Moderate (Approx. 7 km)
    • Start with a downhill trail leading toward the lake.
    • Pause at a wooden balcony in the wilderness, offering a panoramic view of the Ibrahim River.
    • Continue the descent to reach the serene Chouwen Lake, where participants can relax and enjoy the tranquil atmosphere.
  • HAMATOURA HIKE
    Discover the Diversity of Kousba: From Cliff Tops to Riverbanks

    The Kousba hike offers a mix of landscapes and experiences, from sweeping mountain views to tranquil riverbanks. Classified as Level 5, it combines steady climbs, descents, and varied terrain that will keep the day both active and rewarding.

    Highlights of the hike:
    • Start from Kousba electricity company.
    • Ascend a long stony staircase to reach Deir Hamatoura Monastery, perched dramatically on the cliffs.
    • Follow the edge of the cliff with panoramic views.
    • Descend into lush valleys and walk alongside the riverbanks.
    • Pass by old abandoned houses, with lunch near one of them.
    • End the trail with a stunning view of the sea.
  • OLIVE PICKING & KARKE DAY!
    Join us for a serene and joyful day in nature!

    We’ll begin with olive picking among the beautiful olive trees in Zeaitre’s garden, around Vamos Todos Guesthouse — a grounding activity that connects us to the land, its rhythms, and its traditions. We’ll take time to pick olives, learn about their varieties and uses, and discover how olive-based products are made.

    You’ll also enjoy a small eco experience — crushing olives with a stone to prepare the traditional madkouk (crushed olives)! You’ll get to taste the fresh olives and the newly pressed olive oil.

    Take peaceful moments of meditation and relaxation in nature, pausing to breathe, reflect, and feel the harmony of the olive groves.
  • Azour Machmouche Overnight

    This time, we’re heading south to the Jezzine District, one of Lebanon’s finest summer destinations. At 950m altitude, its villages are surrounded by lush pine forests and orchards, offering a refreshing escape.

    In Machmouche, once the main seat of the Maronite bishopric, we’ll visit an impressive 18th-century monastery. The area also preserves traces of a Byzantine settlement with its remarkable man-made lake, supplied by the Litani River through a 16 km tunnel.

    Our retreat will be at Blue Jay Valley, an eco-friendly bed and breakfast nestled in a green valley under starry skies.

About

About Us

Vamos Todos is an ecotourism NGO that promotes and encourages the love of nature amongst its members, thus seeing life through a new perspective.

The name Vamos Todos, which means "Let's go all together" was chosen to reflect the spirit of our club, where you can participate “in a different way, in a better way”, which is also our slogan, in any of the multitude of activities which will be organized for you, with one major goal in mind: HAVING A GREAT TIME.

The club was founded in September 2006, by Mark Aoun, a Lebanese guy who has been hiking for more than 20 years, and has been all over Lebanon as well as some other countries. He would like to share with you his love for nature and life, introducing you to the magnificent place which is our home country.

Our success goes to a professional team who gave from their heart to ensure this NGO’s success. We cannot omit mentioning those who were with Vamos Todos as of the beginning, namely: Alba Wardini who is the heart of Vamos Todos and Tania Charabati. We were one team at the launch of VT!

Special thanks to the professional guides, particularly Tony Fallakha and Elie Saade, who gave and are still giving so much for VT.

We, at Vamos Todos, plan to help you enjoy every single moment you spend with us by offering you a variety of social events, outdoor adventures, sports activities, overseas trips and unusual experiences which will whisk you away for a day or two from your daily routine, bringing you back happy, refreshed and ready to confront another tiring week of work.

Situated at the heart of a network of trails, the guesthouse is the perfect hub for exploration.

Campsite

The Vamos Todos Campsite in Zeaitre is a unique eco-project born in the heart of nature, built from scratch with the support of local people and investors from Davatravel. Designed and crafted by hand, the campsite reflects our vision of sustainable tourism and community collaboration. We began by creating a central gathering area, a welcoming space for campfires, reunions, and group activities, along with an open kitchen serving fresh food and drinks. The site now includes a traditional bungalow, fixed tents, and several eco-friendly facilities designed for both short and long stays. Every element of the campsite was built using local materials, blending harmoniously with the surrounding landscape and offering visitors an authentic, rustic experience in the wild.

The campsite is also part of a network of trails that connect Zeaitre with its surrounding cultural and natural gems. Visitors can choose between easy, moderate, and hard hiking levels, with access to cultural trails leading through Yahchouch, Ghine, Maaysra, and Azra, as well as the nearby Mradiyeh Valley. Just 10 minutes away lies the Jabal Moussa Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO-listed site rich in biodiversity and history. The location also offers opportunities for mountain biking (VTT), cultural tours of the region, and direct access to the village of Zeaitre with its traditional heritage and welcoming community.
