The
Great Moroccan South, 12 days. The
southern region of Morocco is less often visited by travelers, yet it is more
vast than the north and quite colourful and alive. It is here that you will have
the occasion to discover the culture of the Berbers and to appreciate spectacular
landscapes so different from the rest of Morocco.

of silver. It is a good point of departure to discover the Anti-Atlas.

The day begins by investigating the souks of silver before beginning the road
to the interior. You will cross the sweet agricultural landscapes and then wind
into the mountain which can take surprising tones. You will see small Berber villages
coiled on hillsides, becoming confused almost with the earth surroundings. In
the afternoon you will arrive at Tafraoute in the heart of a striking landscape.

regions of Morocco, traversing in Land Rover, the immense track through barren

and tranquility of these places.
