Two Day Overnight Excursion
Those with time to spend a night are given the opportunity to see
firsthand the daily life of a Berber home—especially the importance of
meals and food in Berber culture. There is ample time to make some
personal connections with those you'll meet.
With two days of hiking, you also receive an excellent
survey of the High Atlas mountains and the geography surrounding the
Berber villages you visit.
