This morning, in the company of your mountain guide, you will board a four-wheel vehicle and head south towards the Atlas Mountains. You will drive first through agricultural plains and a small hilly landscape to Takerkouste small town. You will stop by the dam to enjoy the views of the lake and get introduced to the world of the Berbers, inhabitants of mountains. You will carry on through the windy route to Tiferwine village, a point where you will start off-roading through an arid scenery where you will come across shepherds herding their livestock in those open rocky spaces. You will also drive through tiny villages on the way up to Tizi Ouadou village at 1400m where you will stop to stretch your legs and enjoy the spectacular views of Toubkal National Park, its stunning peaks and its lush valleys. During your exploration of this typical berber village constructed from stone and clay, you will be welcomed by Lahcen in his house to share a glass of mint tea with his family. After this great moment with the local community, you will head all the way downhill along a pretty route through pines, juniper trees to Ouirgane Valley at the foot of the national park. You will stop for lunch in a local house in Marigha village. After lunch, you will drive for a short distance to get to the town of Asni in the Green Valley located at the foot of the mountains.
