About this activity
Escape Marrakesh for a 3-day immersion in the Middle Atlas mountains, where you'll trek through Tazekka Natural Park, stay with local Rifi families, and learn traditional crafts in an ethically-minded ecotourism experience. This is authentic rural Morocco—hiking, homestays, and hands-on cultural exchange in one of the country's least-touristy regions.
Only a couple of hours away, a very different experience awaits you. Here, in the beautiful mountainous areas of Ifrane Regions, friendly Rifi people invite you to experience their traditional way of life and diverse eco-systems in an authentic and non-intrusive way. Volunteer, join a homestay tour, experience authentic ecotourism and enjoy Untouched Tazekka natural and cultural attractions as an integral part of the real Morocco lifestyle of people!
