4x4 Tour in the Atlas Mountains with Lunch in a Berber Village
Overview
Imlil is the starting point for Toubkal, the highest mountain in North Africa. You do not need to climb to the top to enjoy it: the paths between the villages around Imlil are some of the most beautiful walks in Morocco.
Your local guide grew up here and leads you through walnut and apple orchards, up to the village of Aroumd and back down by another path. Lunch is a tagine in a family home, with views over the whole valley.
