Agadir to the Anti Atlas Mountains 4-Day Trekking Tour

Your Moroccan journey begins with a morning pick-up in Agadir. We drive inland, transitioning from the Atlantic plains to the rugged, dramatic beauty of the Anti-Atlas region. Our destination is the peaceful village of Amtoudi, a cornerstone of authentic Morocco travel. Upon arrival, we check into a welcoming, locally-run Berber guesthouse. This evening offers an initial taste of Berber cuisine with a communal traditional Moroccan dinner. Use this time to relax and prepare for two days of spectacular valley exploration.

After a fresh, local breakfast, we set out on an easy-level hike into the heart of the Amtoudi Valley. This is Morocco hiking at its most beautiful, featuring a gentle pace perfect for admiration and photography. Our path alternates between following a winding river through lush, green Amtoudi Oasis palm groves and passing through narrow, towering rock gorges. Marvel as the sheer, 200-meter canyon walls squeeze together before opening up to the refreshing natural pools and waterfalls. Following a delicious packed lunch and rest time, the afternoon is dedicated to history. We visit Agadir Id Issa, a powerful, historic fortified granary perched atop a rocky citadel. This centuries-old structure, used by the community for defense and storage, provides panoramic views across the entire valley. The day concludes back at the gite for showers, relaxation, and a fun evening.

Enjoy a slow morning and a final breakfast in Amtoudi before we continue our journey deeper into the mountains towards Tafraoute, the renowned town nestled among pink granite peaks. Our first stop is the lush Ait Mansour Valley. Here, we take a 2-hour easy walk through immense palm groves, soaking up the contrast between the green oasis and the towering mountain peaks. Next, we visit the extraordinary Painted Rocks of Tafraoute, a surreal landscape where colossal boulders are washed in vibrant artistic colors. We also view the famous geological formation known as Napoleon’s Hat. The afternoon is reserved for exploring the town of Tafraoute. This is a prime opportunity for ethical souvenir shopping, specializing in local produce, including pure Argan oil and traditional Berber silver jewelry, perfect for unique gifts. We check into our local inn (auberge) for the night, enjoying another delicious local dinner.

After breakfast, we take a final, peaceful 1-hour mountain walk in the beautiful Ammeln Valley. This gentle trek offers incredible panoramic views and a last moment to appreciate the tranquility of the Anti-Atlas landscape. We then begin our comfortable, scenic drive back to Agadir. You will be dropped off at your accommodation, enriched with memories of the authentic culture, hospitality, and spectacular, little-seen landscapes of Southern Morocco.
