This 4 day hike through the Atlas Mountains and valleys with Mapo Tapo, Lhouceine, our tour leader, and Hassan, our tour guide, was an awesome experience which I would recommend to anyone wanting to hike through distinct and untouched mountain landscapes along real berber villages with absolutely beautiful and unique views. The care of our guides and cook was evident. The food was delicious.

Marina (Apr 2026)

Great experience in the Atlante Mountains in Morocco with Assam, our competenti guide and the excelent chef who provides amazing food during the trekking. We had the chance to discover the life of the berber villages with very nice companions. Mapotapo provided a perfect organization of the trip and a very easy booking process: thank you! We recommend this trip to people who want to discover Atlante region.
