Accommodation in a riad
Departure from Marrakech in the morning through the central High Atlas at the Tizi n 'Tichka pass (2200 m altitude). Stop at the Berber village of Telouet (about 1800 m), on the way of commercial caravans towards the South and near important salt mines through which the water of the Ounila river still flows today becoming salty and thus inevitably changing the landscape and the life of these places. Departure of the trekking from the salt mines to the village of Tighza where we will spend the night in a characteristic local hotel.
Overnight stay in huts and local families
From Tighza we will begin to climb following the paths of the nomads towards Lake Tamda enclosed in a valley protected by the Jbel Anghomr (2740 m), and from whose summit you will be able to enjoy a breathtaking view of the mountains and the surrounding valleys, to descend back to Tighza in the evening
Overnight stay in huts and local families
Following the streets of the nomads you will then return to descend towards the village of Tirwassin, in the green of a
luxuriant vegetation by virtue of the cooler temperatures and the abundance of water, as evidenced by the numerous natural springs where grazing animals go-to drink. Overnight stay with local family
Overnight stay in huts and local families
You will then leave the peaks of the Atlas to venture into the heart of the Ounila Valley, located on the southern slope of the central High Atlas in an absolutely fascinating transition area that opens the doors to the desert where the lush green of the oases contrasts with the red of the earth. Stop at the charming village of Asaka, dug on the sides of a cliff overlooking the river and accessible only by rope ladders, and overnight stay in a local family in the village of Brda.
