Transfer to the Hotel Foucauld. Here the Mizane river supports a thriving rural community, as their extensive cultivations and terraced fields indicate. Centuries of laborious irrigation by the Berbers has resulted in these terraces and walnut trees growing among the barren rocks. From Imelil it is a short ascent to our Berber host's home at the picturesque terraced village of Aroumd. The village clings to a steep slope with dramatic views across the Aroumd plain to the Toubkal massif.
Lunch is beside the river in the enchanting hamlet of Tinhourine after an hour or so of descent.
Ascend to Oukaimden village for lunch. Afternoon free to explore. There are impressive views across the plains to Marrakech. We stay at the licensed Club Alpin Francais. Dinner is at own expense.
