Stages of the trip

3 days / 2 nights


Essaouira
Located on the rocky west coast of southern Morocco, about two hours by car from Marrakech, the ancient medina of Essaouira is protected from the ocean waves by thick walls dating back to the colonial era. The constant ocean breeze makes the beautiful Mogador a great place to visit even in summer months while its white long beaches are perfect for kyte-surfing, hiking, camel trekking and horse riding. Surfing lessons and surf equipment rental are available on site.

Paradise Valley
Situated a few km inland from the coast, the Paradise valley (tagharat ankrim, in berber) became famous during the sixties as a meeting place for hippies communities. Today, this narrow valley hidden among the Atlas mountains has maintained the charm of a wild and lush nature and will be for us a perfect site for hiking and nature exploring, among rich palm groves, beautiful waterfalls and clear pools of crystal water. Upon request, guided visit to local argan cooperatives.
