The traditional Moroccan lunch was a delightful highlight, offering an authentic taste of local cuisine that we savored amidst the serene surroundings. While the trail was occasionally challenging, the breathtaking views and overall experience made every step worth it.

We were excited for a day of hiking in the Rif Valley, and the experience largely met our expectations with stunning views and a nice pace. The traditional Moroccan lunch we enjoyed in a scenic spot added a great touch, really showcasing the local flavors. However, the guide’s pace felt a bit rushed at times, which took away from soaking in some of the beautiful moments along the trail.

Our family had a fantastic time exploring the stunning Rif Valley, surrounded by the breathtaking landscapes and vibrant colors that Chefchaouen is known for. The hike was a perfect blend of adventure and serenity; we loved the moment when we reached a viewpoint overlooking the valley—it was absolutely mesmerizing! After working up an appetite, enjoying a traditional Moroccan lunch prepared by a local family was a highlight, although we found the portion sizes a bit modest for our hungry crew. Overall, it was a memorable day that combined outdoor fun with cultural immersion, making it a worthwhile experience for us.
