During the Berber Village Experience, you will spend four days with the Berber people of the Atlas Mountains. Your journey will start in the beautiful Imnan Valley, with its terraces and small towns set into the hillsides.

While following the gorges to the Tacht Pass (220 m), you will go through the red villages of Imsker, eventually reaching the wonderful Azzenden Valley, covered with snow and facing the mighty Atlas Mountain chain. The amazing Tamsoult waterfall will give you a photo opportunity, should you want it, on your way to the Imlil Valley, where you will stay the night in local gites (if it is summer or warm enough, you may spend the night in a tent)
