Ecotourism Trip - Olive picking and Karke Day! - Keserwan District
  • 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.

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.
