Departure from Marrakesh for our route through Morocco in the direction Aït Ben Haddou, over the High Atlas, an obligatory route to reach our destination, where we cross through the highest mountain pass in Morocco, the Tizi’n-Tichka, with panoramic stops and spectacular views that will amaze you. We will stop to rest, and taste a mint tea or café and visit a women's cooperative, where they prepare argan oil and all kinds of cosmetics and oils, making an ideal break along the way.
Once over the highest point, we will descend into a more arid, desert landscape taking the road that leads to Kasbah Telouet, where you can make a visit.
