On our last full day in Morocco, we had a driver take us out to the Atlas Mountains. We really had no idea where we were going, other than to see a traditional Berber Village.
After an hour drive, and a stop at a cooperative selling the famous Argan Oil, our driver came into a town (Imlil), and quickly introduced us to our guide for the day. We followed this young guy and started walking/hiking up. The scenery was stunning.
I smiled seeing tons of purple iris all over the hill. (Always called 'the lovely' purple iris by all those in the know.)
The walk/hike took us to a water fall where local people were enjoying the warm sun and a day out. The guide explained a bit of the local culture and weather to us...and easily walked quickly over boulders and streams that caused this hiker to take it a bit more slowly.
We peaked into Richard Branson's resort on our way back into Marrakesh. I'm already excited about our next trip back!
