A superb introduction to the mountains and traditions of Morocco. The trip combines visits to the medinas and riads of Marrakesh with a trek through Berber villages in the High Atlas Mountains. We follow trails through traditional villages to alpine pastures set beneath the impressive backdrop of the High Atlas. An ascent of Jebal Toubkal is an added bonus on this exhilarating trek before travelling to the coast and the remarkable port town of Essaouira.
