IMLIL TREK IN THE HIGH ATLAS MOUNTAINS

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Imlil Day Trips, Marrakech Morocco

The base for the ascension to Mount Toubkal, the highest peak in North Africa is the village of Imlil, at 1700 meters high, only one hour and a half drive from Marrakech. Now, perhaps you are not fit enough to climb all the way to its 4167 meters high ( the hike takes 2 to 3 days from Imlil and back) but worry not: there are some great alternative treks available from Imlil and your local English speaking guide will adapt to whatever your level of fitness maybe. The surroundings of Imlil are a
true earthly heaven and orchards of cashew nuts, cherries, raspberries, elderberries, apples and figue trees supply the local Berber market in Asni on Saturdays. The local waterfalls, half hour walk from the village, in the shade of the nut- trees, past Kasbah Toubkal, are also a highlight. After a good trek, we will have short drive to another lovely valley sidi fares where you will treat yourself to a tasty lunch and incredible views . Our favorite thing to do though is by far lunch inside a Berber home and seeing how the locals live.
Return to Marrakech in the evening around 4 pm .
