The geography of the country with mountains of more than 4000 m, kilometer natural beaches open to the ocean, constant trade winds, pleasant temperatures and incredible landscapes make Morocco an ideal place for hiking, trekking, surfing, climbing, cycling and multitude of sports and adventure activities.
Spectacular, steep and with little vegetation these mountains are characterized by deep gorges and flat tops. Mount Tubqal is the highest mountain in North Africa with an altitude of 4167 m. It can be accessed from Imlil, an hour and a half away from Marrakech. The Bougamez Valley is one of the most authentic and best preserved places in the High Atlas, with about thirty small towns where the passage of time is barely noticeable, most of its inhabitants live from agriculture, grazing and tourism from mountain since more recent times. The Ighil Mgoun, is a long and monotonous crest that extends parallel to the Bougamés Valley, is made up of several peaks that are distinguished from the distance, making it difficult to identify its climax the Oumsoud of 4,068 m. maximum height of the High Central Atlas, only surpassed by the Toubkal / Ouanoukrim massif.
A few hundred kilometers south of Fez we find the middle atlas, a unique environment of cedar forests and meandering mountains that offer us the opportunity to ski, trek, observe wildlife and do other outdoor adventure activities. Ifrane National Park is a protected area in the middle Atlas mountain range in Morocco. It has an extension of 500 square kilometers. Much of the park is covered with forests such as the Atlas cedar. Ifrane National Park is one of the few remaining habitats for the Berber monkey. This prehistoric primate had a much wider range in North Africa, but today it survives as an endangered species in strictly restricted and fragmented habitats.
With its lunar landscape, the Antitlas is an excursion of the most rewarding. Still relatively remote they impress its wide desolate and stony plateaus, furrowed by deep canyons that hide palm groves and greenery oasis that seem impossible in the midst of so much desolation; its naked mountains tattooed of multiple strata that show its geological history; the sharp ridges of the imposing granite massif of the Jbel Lekst and the valleys at its feet; the hills with their terraces for the cultivation of cereal, mottled with almond and argan.
Despite not having a good reputation, the Rif has magnificent peaks, mountains, gorges and valleys, as well as large areas of cedar and spruce forests populated with Berber monkeys. It is a mountain range that runs parallel to the Mediterranean and of the same origin as the Betic Mountain Ranges (alpine folding). The Rif reaches heights above 2,500 m in its central part and has numerous peaks above one thousand five hundred meters. By encouraging you to discover this area of Morocco, the landscapes and villages that are discovered and the experience that this road offers its travelers are unforgettable.
The Atlantic coast of Morocco with more than 1800 km offers, thanks to the winds that blow, one of the best surfing destinations worldwide. Lonely beaches, excellent weather and the best waves await you. Imsouane along with Essaouira, Safi, Taghazoute and Sidu Kaouki are the best known places for surfing and kitesurfing on the Moroccan Atlantic coast.
Sidi Kaouki is one of those somewhat wild corners, a little shabby, that you can find if you travel this coast, a long beach of fine sand where surf lovers enjoy a virgin territory with just half a dozen hippie air restaurants and hotels. Dahla in Western Sahara is another paradise for kitesurfing. The Río de Oro peninsula is a 40-kilometer strip that runs parallel to the African continent.
Morocco is also an international climbing destination. An example is the Todra gorge or the Taghia oasis, a circus with limestone walls of up to 800 meters, each more spectacular.
