The
High Atlas, the greatest mountain range of North
Africa, is perhaps the most beautiful and
intriguing part of Morocco. It has retained a
remoteness which until recent decades was
virtually complete, and contains villages where
the way of life has changed little for
centuries. |

3 Valleys & Berber Villages - 4 days
|
  |
|
|
A
perfect combination of an introduction
to trekking in Morocco with traditional
Berber culture |
 Detailed Itinerary [brief itinerary...]
Spend 4 days
exploring the high peaks of the Atlas Mountains
on foot. A hike amidst cool vegetation of
juniper and pine trees is a perfect way to
rejuvenate your mind and body. Go across deep
gorges, gushing river streams and groves of
cherry and walnut trees, as your guide takes you
on a great walk up and down the beautiful hills.
The valleys are home to tiny hamlets and
villages of the ethnic Berbers, a herding and
farming community. Visit their homes and
interact with them to know more about their
traditions and customs. See their terraced
fields of corn and barley and get a glimpse of
their day to day living.
