Pass By: Imlil, Imlil, Marrakech-Safi

The first stop of our day trip will be at Kasbah Tamadot, past the small town of Asni. Kasbah Tamadot is the Moroccan resort of Sir Richard Branson and a magnificent example of local architecture revisited but in full harmony with the surroundings. A tea or coffee break is on our schedule then we will tackle the drive to Imlil where the road becomes more unkept and more winding. Once reached Imlil a local guide will take us to the waterfalls then to Kasbah Toubkal, a wonderful echo lodge with amazing views. Lunch in a restaurant in the village. After lunch we will start to head back to Marrakech driving by lake Lalla Takerkoust, a reservoir that supplies electricity to the city of Marrakech, and desirable destination of locals on weekends for outdoor activities.
