After all, a good experience

We return home after an enriching trip

A week after the beginning of our journey, which took us from Marrakech to the heart of the Sahara, across the Atlas Mountains, we are back home with the feeling of having lived one of the most beautiful and deep experiences we have ever had.The incredible beauty of the surroundings, the endless dunes, their colorful villages and its friendly people make Morocco a place where magic and fantasy are present all the time.

However, Morocco is also full of contrasts as well. And that contrast is most marked in the relationship between animals and humans.

Although this relationship exists largely due to the work the animals carry out, this should be no reason for them not receiving all the necessary attendance for a decent existence.

In fact, as they are of prime importance for carrying out tasks humans need to do for their basic subsistence, they deserve to be treated not just as a mere “work tool”.

All things considered, the journey we have made shows once again the hard work that lies ahead to improve the existing relationship between animals and humans.

Sharing the same spirit of respect towards animals that moved previous actions, Planeta Animal suggests a new challenge:

“Across the Sahara 2010, a one week adventure journey throughout the heart of the Moroccan Sahara.

This incredible experience will take the brave travellers into unique places surrounded by deeply beautiful nature. In the core of the dessert we shall enjoy exciting experiences such as to meditate under skies spotted with a billion stars, to sail a sea of dunes and to share the life of dessert nomads.
