Trekking in Morocco / 3 Days Valley Trek in the Atlas Mountain & Waterfalls

We had a superb 3 days and climbed Mt Toubkal at dawn on the 3 rd day. Our guide was fabulous and spoke great English. The cook & Mule men were so experienced and the food was delicious and plentiful at all 3 daily meals. I can highly recommend the 3 day treck. You need to be fit!

I have done a couple of Hikes in the Atlas mountains were very good. This one however was not good. In first instance the Guide who says he was very experienced mover at speed which made the hike quite hazardous. I asked him to slow down on a number of occasions but unfortunately he kept going. We hiked over significant terrain and did not take break other than time to take water for 4 hours 30 minutes. After lunch we continued downhill towards the village we were staying in for the night. Again he continued at pace. Unfortunately I slipped on loose sand and fractured a bone in my ankle. I had to hobble along with assistance for the last kilometre. I need hospitalisation where a plate was installed. I would suggest that you should be careful when selecting the hiking company as they vary significantly. Suffice it to say I will not be using this company in the future.

I did this trek solo, there was also another traveler. Hassan (guide) and Ahmed (cook) took very good care of us. Hassan was particularly attentive and helpful to make us feel good. The views and weather were magnificent, definitely the right time. The lodges are modest but have everything you need to spend the night there. I will never forget their kindness, long live them. It could be interesting to organize meetings with Berber villagers during the evenings at the lodges. From my point of view it would be possible to do without mules to ensure animal welfare by modifying the organization somewhat. I highly recommend this trek!
