Hiking Trip - Ayoun Samak Hike - Doniyeh District
  • We are heading to 'Ayoun el Samak,' one of the most spectacular destinations in Lebanon. Situated on the banks of the 'Nahr el Bared' river, which separates 'Doniyeh' from 'Akkar' regions, 'Ayoun el Samak' presents an endless array of breathtaking and picturesque views that will leave you in awe.

    The name is derived from the numerous water sources that feed the river and create these magnificent vistas.

    The area has historically been a major attraction for many artists and singers who have chosen its beautiful surroundings as the backdrop for filming their music videos. It truly offers a hiking experience that should not be missed. We have divided our hike into two levels:

    Level 2 & 3 - This will be an easy walk along the riverbank, where we will be surrounded by trees lining the shores.

    Here’s what’s in store for our tour:
    • Explore Jbeil’s Ancient History:
    Stroll through the charming old souk, visit the iconic Byblos Crusader Citadel, and wander through the historic ruins that tell the story of this ancient Phoenician city.

Hiking Trip - Baakline Hike - Chouf District
  • BAAKLINE
    Baakline is a perfect destination for hikers and nature lovers, nestled in the stunning Shouf region, known for its lush forests and preserved nature. The village is home to a unique National Library, built in 1897 during the Ottoman Empire and restored in 1987.

    It houses historical documents and symbolizes Lebanese resilience and freedom, ironically located in the former Grand Serail, once a prison for intellectuals and the Ottoman Governor’s headquarters. After visiting the library, the hike begins, winding through dense forests and passing Houwwet Raidan, a 70-meter-deep natural pothole, before reaching the river.

    Hiking Trails:

    Level 3:

    o Starts in Baakline.
    o Passes Hamadeh Castle (under renovation) and dense forests.

30 Mar 2025

Hiking Trip - Mazraet El Teffeh Hike - Zgharta District
  • MAZRAET EL TEFFEH
    We are planning to visit Mazraet el Teffeh this time.

    Mazraet el Teffeh is an incredible village in the Zgharta district, renowned for its rare forests. It derived its name from the apple trees that once flourished abundantly within it. While the apple trees have dwindled over time, the population of pine and oak trees has increased, expanding the lush green forest to become one of the finest in the world.

    Hiking in Mazraet El Teffeh feels like traversing through a tunnel of greenery, with trees and bushes densely packed together. The area is abundant in water sources and ancient stone pathways, offering remarkable views at every turn.

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.
