Throughout the hike, enjoy the beautiful landscapes and ask your guide any questions you have about the local culture. After the hike, enjoy an optional visit to the local argan oil cooperative. There, learn about the production of argan by this women's cooperative, and get to taste bread and oil with Moroccan tea. While in Ouirgane, stop for a local lunch of traditional food. Enjoy the Berber hospitality in the village as you explore the local peoples' lands and villages. After your tour, return to Marrakech for drop-off at your accommodation.
