Amazigh Week

Amazigh Immersion Retreat 🌄: Hiking, Yoga, and Berber Culture over 6 Days Between Mountains 🏞️ and Atlantic Coast 🌊

Embark on an extraordinary adventure, a full week of authentic exploration at the heart of Berber culture. Discover a tailor-made retreat designed for wonder and relaxation in the rural region of Agadir, combining unforgettable hikes, rejuvenating yoga sessions, and unique experiences off the beaten path, away from tourist trails.

The very essence of this retreat is designed to offer you a rich, relaxing, stimulating, and simply extraordinary adventure! Upon your arrival and at the end of this week, you will be accommodated in a charming villa or riad, depending on availability, in the coastal village of Tamraght. Both locations offer warmth and relaxation, with breathtaking sea views 🌅 and spacious areas ideal for yoga practice 🧘.

The program begins with four days of trekking, either itinerant or in a star pattern around the accommodation (depending on the season), through the majestic mountains of Ida Outanane. Traverse reddish, dusty, and rocky paths, cross lush oases, palm groves, and picturesque canyons. Enjoy refreshing swims in natural rock pools 🏞️ before exploring traditional Amazigh villages. Youssef, originally from one of these villages, will share his knowledge of lifestyle, customs, and the surrounding nature. Nights will be spent in comfortable lodges, carefully selected for their authenticity and in support of the local community.

The fourth day marks the departure from the mountains to the ocean! The following day is dedicated to rest and relaxation by the sea, punctuated by a yin yoga session.

The last day is a true cultural immersion: after a morning yoga session, we will visit a beautiful botanical garden where you will learn to prepare a traditional tagine and make Moroccan tea with Youssef. Explore the Berber museum and an argan oil cooperative run by women, a unique opportunity to dive even deeper into Moroccan Amazigh culture.

Conclude this memorable week with a farewell dinner featuring a sumptuous couscous prepared by Fatima, Youssef's sister.

Accommodations are divided between comfortable mountain lodges for the first part of the stay and, for the second part, an exceptional villa or riad. We collaborate with high-quality and carefully selected hotel partners.

Join us for a unique experience where nature, culture, and relaxation blend in perfect harmony! 🌿
