TREKKING IN BERBER COUNTRY FAMILY HOLIDAY
8 days from GBP659 to GBP719 including flights
Tripcode: FMB
Relaxing walking in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains. Staying with local families in their homes. The sights and sounds of the squares and alleyways in Marrakech.
This is an active itinerary suited to an older family who want a gentle introduction to walking in the High Atlas. Only a short drive from Marrakech and you can be truly immersed in Morocco's rural culture, and we spend four days here enjoying the varying scenery and the kind hospitality of the Berber villagers. Our walks take us through dry but cultivated terraces, and lush green pastures with the jagged mountains rising high into the distance. This is also a wonderful opportunity to spend time with rural communities. We pass through small farming villages learning about their traditional way of life, spending each night in a village house experiencing true hospitality. After the peace and quiet of the mountains we head to Marrakech to see another side of this diverse country.
