Your route leads through timeless Berber villages where ancient traditions and ways of life are still preserved. Along the way, discover winding waterways, lush wadis and blooming oleanders, where clear water flows gently over smooth stones and the peaceful beauty of nature unfolds.

Your base, Taroudant, is a hidden gem of southern Morocco. Enclosed by impressive city walls, it reveals a maze of narrow alleys, lively souks and colorful markets. Less touristy than Marrakech, yet rich in history and atmosphere, Taroudant offers an authentic glimpse into traditional Moroccan life — warm hospitality, palm-lined squares and the aromas of local cuisine included.

What you need to know (FAQ's)
What level of physical fitness is required?
This hiking and discovery journey is suitable for anyone with a normal level of health, fitness and stamina. The hikes last approximately 4 to 5 hours per day, with a maximum elevation gain and descent of 500 meters.
At any time, you may choose to skip a hike and spend the day relaxing at the hotel/riad or exploring Taroudant instead.
What equipment and clothing should I bring for the trip?
Please bring a daypack of around 25 liters, ankle-high hiking boots with good grip, and a water bottle with at least 1 liter capacity. Pack practical hiking clothing (T-shirts, trekking pants, hiking socks), as well as warm layers such as a sweater, hat and gloves. A waterproof and windproof jacket with hood, overtrousers, and a rain cover for your backpack are recommended. Don’t forget sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen), personal medication, swimwear, comfortable shoes or sandals, and a toiletry bag (toothbrush, etc.).
What additional equipment is recommended?
We recommend bringing telescopic trekking poles, functional underwear, swimwear, and comfortable shoes (such as sneakers). You may also wish to pack a camera or binoculars, a pocketknife, snacks (e.g., energy bars), drink powder, and a small toiletry kit with biodegradable soap, towel, tissues, and toilet paper.
What level of fitness and experience is required?
Moderate hikes suitable for participants with average fitness and good overall health. Sure-footedness is required, and previous mountain hiking experience is helpful. Walking times are up to 5 hours per day, with ascents of up to 400 m and descents of up to 400 m.
The winding trails of Morocco’s mountains call for a slow, almost meditative pace. Those who adopt this rhythm tire less quickly and can better appreciate the beauty of nature. Regular breaks are recommended. Eat lightly, but drink plenty of water.
