Excursion to Imlil

We will depart from Marrakech at 8:30 AM and head towards the High Atlas Mountains and the village of Asni, relatively untouched by tourism. Crossing this magnificent landscape, we will stop in Tahanaout to visit an argan oil cooperative.

We will continue to the small village of Asni, then begin the ascent to Imlil, located at the foothills of Mount Toubkal. Imlil is the last village accessible by road on Mount Toubkal and is known as the “Moroccan Chamonix.”

At an altitude of 4,167 meters, Toubkal is the highest peak in North Africa. Upon arrival, we will be welcomed in a Berber family home for tea before starting a two-hour hike to explore the beautiful Imin waterfalls. The hike is relatively stable and does not require excessive physical effort.

 

Lunch will be served in a traditional restaurant, with an opportunity to visit a rural market. We will descend from Imlil in the late afternoon and return to Marrakech around 7:00 PM.
