That was an excellent experience, I loved everything from the very beginning until the end! I’m happy I went on this trip as I learned a lot about culture, country, and life in the mountains. Thanks a lot!

Trek Atlas hosted our family ( two late teens) through the Atlas Mountains to some amazing views and waterfalls. Pointing out plants and animals- something to see at every turn. The food was incredible and the people at each place were very welcoming – even the mule Jaclyn was charming. We only had one night. If you stay for three or so you can also trek to Basecamp and the summit of Morocco and North Africa’s highest mountain (Mt Toubkal) from here. Abdou knows the area very well and has all the experience you need to safely explore the Atlas area. Highly recommended. we will be back to stay longer. Thanks, Go Marrakech Desert Trips
