ITINERARY
- Escape the hustle and bustle of Marrakech for a refreshing journey into the heart of the Atlas Mountains. This full-day adventure offers a deep dive into Berber culture, stunning natural landscapes, and panoramic views that stretch across valleys, orchards, and snow-capped peaks. Your day begins with a scenic drive out of Marrakech, heading towards the majestic Atlas Mountains. Along the way, stop at a traditional Argan oil co-operative, where you’ll learn about this unique Moroccan product and enjoy a warm cup of Berber tea while local women demonstrate the ancient techniques of extracting this precious oil.
- Continue through the lush Asni Valley, famous for its apple orchards and charming mountain views. Take time for photo stops to capture the beauty of the landscape and the quaint Berber villages that dot the hillsides. The road then climbs higher into the mountains, leading you to the stunning Imlil Valley—the gateway to Mount Toubkal, the highest peak in North Africa, standing tall at over 4,200 meters. Upon arrival, meet your friendly local Berber guide for a leisurely walk tailored to your pace. Stroll through terraced fields of apple and walnut trees, pass through traditional hamlets, and take in breathtaking views of the valley and the surrounding peaks. Your walk includes a visit to a small hidden waterfall, a peaceful spot to pause and enjoy nature. Then continue on foot to a Berber village where a delicious home-cooked lunch awaits, served with mint tea in a welcoming local home. After lunch, meet your driver and begin the journey back to Marrakech.
