Those who arrive early will enjoy a relaxed breakfast before heading out for the day with our local partner for a walking tour of Marrakech, exploring the palaces, the history and the famous maze-like souks (markets). Meanwhile, we will pick up the others at the airport and take you to our beautiful riad (traditional courtyard house). That evening we will all get to know each other over a delicious welcome dinner right at the riad, and afterward those who manage to hold off the jet lag can go experience the Djemaa El-fna (the central square of the old city): sample local treats, bargain for scarves, charm a cobra, jump into a drum circle or simply wander around and take it all in!
Fell in love with Imlil? Good, because you get to stay a bit longer… and earn your way to the best views yet! We’ll begin from our riad, warming up with a bit of pavement before hitting a rolling dirt road that winds above the valley and below the highest peaks in North Africa, eventually culminating with a challenging single track climb climb to a pass with a big reward at the top – 360 degree views and fresh orange juice! Cruise back down to finish back at the hotel for lunch on the sunny rooftop terrace and time to relax before a short trek to a local home for tea and another hearty dinner.
Okay, so we’re not quite ready to leave the magic of the Atlas Mountains just yet. Today we have one more spectacular mountain run for you to get up high and take in the views. Starting strong, we’ll climb up, up, up an old dirt track towards our mountain pass where you’ll be gifted with sweeping views of towering peaks, lush deep valleys, and small mountain villages below. Once you’ve reached the pass, we have a cruisy mountain trail to descend straight to lunch. Take your time, the views are epic and you’ll want a photo (or ten).
After a delicious lunch, we’ll load up and make our way towards the picturesque village of Ouirgane where we’ll get settled into a local and quaint ecolodge for the night.
