Walking in the Atlas Mountains foothills Experience traditional Berber hospitalitySights of vibrant MarrakechHigh-flying activities at Terre d'Amanar

Trek in the Atlas Mountains and experience the kind hospitality of Berber villagers on this active itinerary for all the family. Only a short drive from vibrant Marrakech, we are truly immersed in Morocco's rural culture. Our walks take us through cultivated terraced fields with the jagged mountains of the High Atlas rising in the distance. As we spend four nights in village houses, we have a wonderful opportunity to spend time with, and learn about, rural Berber communities. We complete the week with an exciting activity-filled day at Terre d’Amanar, where we can try zip lines, monkey bridges or even archery.
