Morocco - Easy trekking in the Atlas Mountains and days in Marrakech

Morocco is a place that everyone should experience. On this journey you will see the impressive mountains with the authentic berber-villages and the old royal city of Marrakech with all it's sounds, scents and experiences. This tour starts in the mountain village of Imlil which is considered to be the gateway to the High Atlas Mountains. This is where most of the trekking tours in the Atlas Mountains start.

While your luggage is being transported on mules,  you will calmly walk along small paths, through berber-villages where the local hospitality will make a big impression. During the walk, your guide will tell you about the area, the villages, and present you for the local customs. Besides your private guide, you will also have a cook with you on the trek who will delight you with exciting local dishes.

After finishing your walk in the mountains it is time to visit the colorful city of Marrakech. You are free to decide what you want to do and we are convinced that you will not get bored.

This trip is possible all year round, but between November and early April there can be snow in the mountains and it is necessary to bring warm clothes and a warm sleeping bag on the trek. Marrakech is always nice and warm.
