Itinerary
DAY 1
ARRIVAL AT MARRAKESH
Welcome to Marrakesh!
We will pick you up at the airport at the scheduled time to transfer you to the hotel “O Riad”. The rest of the afernoon will be free so make sure to have a walk and explore the surroundings!
DAY 2
MARRAKESH TO IMLIL
A short distance separates us from the small Berber capital of the High Atlas
Imlil will welcome us with its hustle and bustle of trekkers and mountaineers from all over the world who come here to undertake ascents and tours of the mountains. The small villages that settle in the valley have a beautiful imprint, with the characteristic flat roof houses of adobe. Notice the freshness of the orchards, the fruit trees, the fragrant fig-trees, the large walnuts, the small craft shops, the smoky aromas that come out of the coffee shops, the smell of spices, barbecues, green tea… Everything will indicate that we are already in the Atlas. We have the day for “acclimatization” and introduction in the area and we are going to make a journey to accommodate our bodies and legs to the days that lay ahead of us. Starting with a trip to the Collado Ikkis from where we will have some spectacular views of the massif for so that we can make ou return to Imlil early in the afternoon. The rest of the afternoon could be used to have a nice walk around the town and prepare the equipment for tomorrow. Dinner will be on the terrace!
DAY 3
IMLIL TO TOUBKAL
The beginning of the track!
Before leaving, we will have a meeting with the team of muleteers and the cook.. The journey begins through beautiful paths along the terraces and fruit crops with their beautiful and large walnut trees (very characteristic of the High Atlas). As we head-on, we will slowly ascend leaving behind the valley as we enter the High Arund. Here, we will cross small Berber villages and after about three hours of walking, we will reach the Marabout of Sidi Chamarouch. Tomb of a saint of Islam and a place of pilgrimage. Here, the Around River comes down with force and in some nearby streams, we will be able to refresh ourselves. We continue our journey now by doing some loops and overcoming a steep slope to face the high valley of Around. We will begin to see the great colossi: Toubkal, Ouanokrin, Afella, Timesguida… The fresh air of the mountain will relieve us in our climb and the nearby fountains will encourage us… Finally, time for rest and refreshment. Have a good mint tea and prepare for dinner. Afterwards, an impressive starry sky will be a good reason for the gathering before going to sleep.
DAY 4
THE PEAK OF TOUBKAL
Today we go to the peak.
Today, we will get up early at around 04:00AM. We have time for a quick breakfast and it is time to departure to the top! We will ascend through the normal route to the highest peak of the Northern Africa. As soon as we leave the shelter we will cross a small stream and we will face the first strong ramps. We will ascend around a waterfall that can be frozen and after a few steep slopes the path will lean and the terrain will soften. From here we move between large blocks of stones as we gain height in our search for the summit. As we reach the pass that divides the two summits of the Toubkal we turn to our left to a land devoid of snow and following an easy edge until reaching the outskirts of the summit. The characteristic vertex of the summit will welcome us to the highest peak in North Africa. Congratulations, you have got it! First-class panorama! To the south, the parched lands of the Anti Atlas, the Djebel Siroua … and the prelude to the Sahara. After we will go back down to the refuge camp where after replenishing forces we will continue to descend to Imlil. Once we arrive in Imlil there will be a transfer taking you to Marrakesh.
DAY 5
MARRAKESH
Visiting the electric city of Marrakesh.
Today we will have all day to enjoy one of the most beautiful cities in Africa. For more than two centuries this Berber city at the crossroads between the Sahara, the Atlas and the Anti Atlas, was the center of a great empire. Zocos, medina, palm groves, palaces, gardens and mosques form one of the most fascinating sets that a traveler can find. The fall of the evening is quite a spectacle, as the people take to the streets to enjoy the coolness. The Plaza de la Djemma el Fna is full of color and the sensual colors of the sunset reflect harmony in the urban landscape. Today, to enjoy the ancient medina, we plan to have dinner in the gardens of Riad Mimoun, a former palace house converted into a restaurant and located in the heart of the old medina, in the Riads Zitoun area.
DAY 6
