Do you know about trekking in Morocco?
Enjoy hiking? Did you know about the Atlas Mountains?
This massive mountain range stretches all the way to Tunisia from Morocco and separates the coasts from the Sahara Desert. This special positioning of the mountains makes them home to many unique and endangered plants and animals.
The Moroccan Atlas Mountains have been inhabited by Amazigh villagers for centuries. Many treks through these mountains follow traditional shepherd’s routes between villages. On these paths, you will encounter historic villages and various landscapes that are distinctive of the region. It is the perfect mix of culture and hiking for trekkers looking for an extraordinary experience.
There are many circuits, most requiring a local guide. For example, the 7-day Toukbal circuit will guide you through subtle paths, ancient villages and around the highest peak of the mountain range. Many other circuits to this Moroccan trekking treasure offer different landscapes and experiences.
