Description

After about 30 minutes drive from we will reach Anima gardens ( Andre Heller Garden ) a place with hundreds of botanical influences from around the world blended together with artworks by Picasso, Haring, Rodin and more.. The garden was created by the artist Andre Heller and contains a variety of exclusive artworks that fill the enormous botanical garden with vivid colors. After the visit of the Anima Garden, we will enjoy a nice drive through Asni Valley for an hour until we reach Imlil village which is a relatively new creation. It was created to cater for the number of tourists pouring through en route to Toubkal: Morocco's Atlas Mountains highest peak (4,167m). It is certainly beautiful with much to catch the eye and mind. The mountain mass of Toubkal dominates the southern skyline. Berber villages abound as well as their intricate farming systems. This valley is very popular and visited by many tourists. There are many affordable activities to enjoy there. Such as a trek to Toubkal Summit. A kasbah style hotel (called 'The Kasbah') is located towards the head of the valley. It sits on a rocky outcrop that gives commanding panoramic views to South mountains and Berber communities from all other directions. Having lunch here offers not only Moroccan delicious food but also, an opportunity to relax amid wonderful scenery. Many stops are made in order to take pictures in grand views and sights as well as to communcate with Berbers. We Will also take you for 2 hours walks as part of your trip to see more villages and the area small waterfall. Lunch will be taken in a Berber restaurant with a scenetic mountainous view. On our way back to Marrakech you will have the opportunity to stop at Argan cooperative to have an idea about the medical herbs and Argan products that local people use for skin care.
