Overview
This is not just a trek — it’s a human adventure. Over 6 days, hike through the breathtaking valleys and ancient paths of the High Atlas, while cooking and sharing meals with Berber families in their homes. Each day brings new trails, new dishes, and new faces. Learn to prepare authentic Moroccan recipes, from tagines to couscous, using local ingredients you help gather or harvest. At night, share stories over mint tea under the stars.
