An eight-day High Atlas journey with progressive acclimatization and an ascent of Toubkal, North Africa’s highest peak.
Celý popis
It’s not by chance that the Amazigh call Toubkal “the mountain of mountains.” At 4,167m, it’s the highest peak in North Africa — and summiting it is a journey through the heart of Amazigh country. A progressive itinerary designed for gentle acclimatization.

Azaden Valley & Waterfalls
