Marrakech Trip Overview
Pass through Berber hamlets and Berber towns! If you are in good physical condition and you want to reach a 4167 meters high peak, challenge yourself to rise the highest peak in Morocco! Spend 7 days exploring the valleys of the Atlas Mountains. Many of the treasures of this region are tucked away atop remote mountains or at the bottom of deep valleys; this means that trekking is the ideal way to explore the area. This trekking tour is challenging yet a rewarding experience. These off beaten tracks most tourists never see. Also, we will trek with a English speaking guide, a Berber cook, muleteers and mules to carry our luggage. It’s a challenging walk rather than a climb.
