WHAT TO DISCOVER ON THE WAY:

It's a wonderful section of the LMT! Reaching Tannourine is already an adventure if you don't have a car but it worth it. The trail goes through the waterfall of Balou3 Bal3a.
The first part is quiet steep and technical (rocky path mostly) to Balou3 Bal3a (Baatara hole) then it's getting much easier although it's still going up.
Once you are at the summit above Aaquoura, the view is stunning. However, the path there has been destroyed by a land-slide so the way down is quite difficult and there is no more path.
