Les Roches Peintes

These large painted granite rocks, created by Belgian artist Jean Verame, can be found just off of a dirt road that branches from Agard-Oudad street in Tafraoute, Morocco.

A brief 20-minute bike ride from Tafraoute brings travelers to this gorgeous valley that perfectly embodies the lifestyle of the region. These rocks covered in a myriad of colors also provide a panoramic view of the surrounding valley and landscape. This vast area of art nestled in this remote region is certainly a sight to behold and adds a different dynamic to the area. 

This scene also provides some insight into the culture of people that frequent Tafraoute. The rocks depict a laid-back nature that welcomes backpackers and campers who have been touring the area for years.
