Trekking in Toubkal 4 days from marrakesh

4 Days Trek “Imlil Valley, Toubkal Summit: True Highlights of Toubkal National Park

Duration: 4 days

Difficulty: high, suitable only for experienced hikers

These four days spent in mountains are a worthy investment of your holiday time! They will give us time to acclimatize to the altitude,, pass through authentic Berber villages and get to base camp for Toubkal Summit on the slower and less busy track. Imlil Valley is wonderful with its lush vegetation and its typical architecture crowned by the view of the massive Toubkal. Once we conquer the 4167 meters of Jebel Toubkal we continue next day to the miraculously blue Lake Ifni…Keep your cameras ready!

The tour is technically not difficult and you don´t need to have any previous mountaineering experience, but you should be a little bit fit and used to off-road walking.

I went on this tour with my friend. The taxi driver picked us up at our riad, which was very nice. The driver, Jamal, was funny and gave us some moments to make pictures. Our tour guide, also Jamal , was very sweet and kind. For us the whole experience was unforgettable. Lovely people with very rich hearts!

An amazing day with breathtaking sights and unforgettable experiences. Extremely knowledgeable and passionate guide that went the extra mile for us to construct a bridge from stone when the path was flooded from rain the night before.
