Support - LEBANON NEEDS US - Lebanon
  • LEBANON NEEDS US: TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

    As we unite for our country Lebanon, we celebrate its beauty and resilience. We dream of a future where every family feels safe and secure. In these challenging times, let’s keep hope alive and work together toward a brighter tomorrow.

    In these challenging times, the most important thing we can do is help others. For the past few weeks, we’ve been welcoming some Lebanese people seeking safety at our guesthouse and tents, but we know we must do more. We are now launching two initiatives:

Hiking Trip - Nahr El Jawz Hike - Batroun District
  • Nahr el Jawz Hike

    Nahr el Jawz (Walnut River) comes from the depths of the Lebanese mountains then turns southward and empties into the sea between Batroun and Hamath. The river itself comes from two springs bubbling up above Tannourine.

    The beauty of Nahr El Jawz is at its peak during spring. Grab this opportunity to witness nature in all its colors. The wild flowers are so colorful along the river bank, spreading red, purple, yellow and white sparkles all over the ground. The water at this time of year flows so vigorously that it fills the air with a loud splashing sound. You will be charmed by the trees along the river banks, above all by the walnut trees which grow in preference close to water and which have given the river their name.

Hiking Trip - Ras El Metn Ksaibe St. Veronica Hike - Baabda District
  • Ras El Metn – Ksaibe Hike
    Discover Ras El Metn: A Hidden Gem in the Baabda District

    Nestled in the Baabda district, Ras El Metn is a charming Lebanese village that offers an exquisite setting. Perched atop a hill embraced by a lush pine forest, it provides breathtaking views of both the valleys and the sea, enhancing its natural beauty and allure.

    Ras El Metn is notable for being the birthplace of a prominent modern figure in Lebanon. Writer Anis Freiha once eloquently remarked, "In Lebanon, there is a sacred mountain, the summit of which may be the most beautiful peak of God on earth, which is my village Ras El Metn." He poetically described his village as a peninsula surrounded by two deep valleys, emphasizing its geographical isolation from the outside world.

Hiking Trip - Kfour Ftouh Keserwan Hike - Keserwan District
  • Explore Kfour: A Traditional Village in Ftouh Keserwan

    This time, our destination is Kfour, one of the most traditional villages in Ftouh Keserwan!

    This hike is organized in collaboration with the Kfour Municipality, the Municipalities Union of Keserwan, and the Kfour Scouts, who may join us during the event.

    The name "Kfour" has Syriac origins, much like many other Lebanese villages, and it signifies the plural of "Kafr," referring to a large assembly of houses. Kfour is renowned for its historic homes and churches, many of which we will encounter along our walk. These sites are interconnected by charming old streets and footpaths.

About Us

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.
