3 DAYS HIKING

The journey leading to the starting point of this 3-day hike around and within Paradise Valley immerses us in the heart of Ida Outanane and Berber culture. The route is astounding, and filled with surprises, and the ascent from the heights provides a majestic panorama of the region’s landscapes. Subsequently, various trails guide us through forests intertwined with argan, thuja, olive, and almond trees, highlighting the geological marvels and the harmonious blend of red and ochre hues in the rocks throughout the entire journey.

Upon reaching the heart of the valley, passing by the olive mill and the delta of streams, and then indulging in the clarity of water basins and a refreshing swim in pristine waters, it creates a truly picturesque experience. It’s time to partake in a typical and delectable tagine, exploring a variety of local products such as honey, olive oil, argan oil, and amlou at the home of a resident in a quaint Berber village nestled on the mountainside. Following the meal, the afternoon gently descends, guiding us past a waterfall, through a palm grove, cultivated gardens, and numerous bodies of water, surrounded by breathtaking views and the marvels of wild flora.

As the day concludes, it’s time to find refuge at the local’s home again, savoring a delightful Berber dinner, and relishing in a tranquil evening, completely ‘cut off from the world’…

Breathtaking panoramic views welcome us at the summit! A short hike through goat paths leads us to the mountain-perched village, where a typical Berber meal awaits…

As our afternoon unfolds, exploring the plateau’s flora and hidden corners, we rediscover the trails leading to the Valley of Paradise for a unique and different perspective of this enchanting place! A few more turns bring us to the inn, where we can enjoy the tranquility and comfort of this splendid retreat, embodying the serene hospitality of Morocco…

For hiking enthusiasts, this third day of trekking offers a complete spectacle. Along the winding paths through the Ida Outanane that lead to natural pools and splendid terraced gardens, the hike provides an impressive panoramic view to start.
