Trekking Central Atlas: Geopark M'Goun, Lush Valleys, and Nomads
Located in the Central High Atlas Mountains, the M'Goun Massif is a bit harder to get to, but for the true adventurer, these expeditions showcase the wilder side of the High Atlas Mountains. This region boasts beautiful treks through valleys, gorges, canyons, across rivers, and up ridges, with a special treat of trekking to North Africa's second highest peak, Ighil M'Goun at 4068 m/13361 ft. In the summer, nomads and their flocks of sheep and goats are your regular neighbors in the remote valleys and high plateaus of the M'Goun region. If you're looking for a more relaxing vacation, the valleys of Ait Bouguemez, Tessaout, Taghia, and Ait Bou Oulli offer a chance for short walks, and immersion into the Berber culture. With itineraries ranging from 4 days to 2 weeks, we customize your expedition to meet your interests and requirements.
