Description
Morocco has long been known as an exciting hiking destination which combines beautiful, wild mountains with a fascinating culture and wonderful food. These 3 summits are all good objectives in their own right but ticking off all 3 over the course of a fortnight is an obtainable but challenging goal which will take you to some of the most scenic places in North Africa.
One aspect of hiking these mountains that stands out is that the hiking is only a small part of the experience; interacting with the Berber people, smelling tagines bubbling away as you pass through villages, and passing through such breathtaking and unusual scenery are the real highlights of these adventures.
