Detailed itinerary
1
In the morning, at the departure time chosen, one of our drivers will pick you up from your residence place (hotels, Riads, or apartments). The pickup will take about 05 minutes.
2
Lake Lalla Takerkoust, with its beauty and tranquillity, will surely give you what you need.
3
Stop 3
Arrived on the plateau itself, the track advances among the cereal crops. You will cross several Berber villages. Still, the plateau is dominated by the chain of the High Atlas and its peaks at more than 4000 meters.
4
The walk through the winding hills and charming Berber villages is a pleasure in itself. The Asni market operates on Saturdays and is worth a visit. You will see all kinds of things being sold there from animal vegetables to second-hand jewelry and plumbing! You can admire the beautiful landscapes in which Berber villages are hidden.
5
Stop 5
The Sidi Farés valley is a very beautiful virgin valley with very beautiful contrasting landscapes which is not known by mass tourism. It is located 70km south of Marrakech
6
Stop 6
The Ourika Valley is one of the most popular Excursions from Marrakech.
By following the course of the Ourika River, you can admire the magnificent landscape of the High Atlas, totally different from that of Marrakech.
Temperature is cooler in the shadow of snowcapped High Atlas peaks, and this blooming valley a little more than 50km south of Marrakesh is the city’s escape hatch from the soaring summer heat. The valley is especially mood-altering from February to April when almond and cherry orchards bloom manically and wildflowers run riot.
7
The travelers can go hiking with the guide and they can also see the waterfalls. They will continue to Armad, a Berbey Valley, and spend free time in this location. They can also have their lunch in this place.
