Taghia
A small isolated Berber village in the heart of the High Atlas mountains, almost 2000 m above sea level, has become one of the hotspots of climbing in the world. In addition to its countless walls, Taghia has a lot to offer. Its landscapes are magnificent and its warm human dimension is inspiring. The rhythm of life and cultural authenticity immediately offer a feeling of peace and joy to the visitor. The mineral universe of the arid slopes of rocks and lands present surprising harmonies of ocher, red and mauve which contrast with the vegetable green of the areas where the abundant and pure water gives life. The stone houses, the stables, the cultivated terraces, the village paths tell us and unfold before our eyes the simplicity of a simple life, linked to nature. At this exceptional site, combine the hospitality of the Berber people and the joy of climbing beautiful walls: all the ingredients are there to live an unforgettable adventure!

Activities
Canyons
Akka n Taghia: Going downhill from Akka'n Taghia requires a minimum of 3 days.
This small canyon presents no difficulty in itself, the abseils rarely exceeding 10m.
However, its approach is legendary, perhaps even more than the canyon itself.
Akka n Tafrawt: the Akka'n Tafraout canyon is perhaps the most cashed and the most isolated of the Moroccan canyons. At certain times you will be able to spread your arms and touch the 2 walls while they will culminate at over 700m in height above your head ... Hard to imagine! So come and experience it!
It is with pleasure that I will guide or advise you. Do not hesitate to contact me.
