Day 2: Ait Bougmez valley – Trekking in Ait Bougmez

In the morning we climb to the attic of Sidi Moussa (the most beautiful in the country) and we walk along with the irrigated fields, to discover an ancestral way of life, to the rhythm of the work in the countryside. Many legends intertwine around this collective attic; located on top of a hill. Before a few decades, the people of the valley kept their crops and family possessions here in small rooms. The place is still very important today because according to popular belief, power emanates from it. This is attributed to Sidi Moussa, who is revered as sacred. As the small mountain is at the fork of the valley, we have a panoramic view of the two parts of the valley that we are going to travel. We choose the right or north bank of Ait Bougemez and join our lunch break in Ait Imi (1900 m). Night in our accommodation in Aguer n’Ouzrou.

Day 3: Villages, Tabant, To the Footprints of the dinosaurs.

Our trekking in Ait Bougmez valley takes us along paths of fields and crops, small streams, and apple and walnut trees. The traditional architecture of clay houses is still common in the villages. Rammed earth constructions play the role of thermal insulation, it keeps heat in winter and cools in summer. We walk towards the rock slabs placed on the slope, on which we can see traces of dinosaurs. These are fossilized traces that the herbivorous colossi left about 180 million years ago on the rather muddy ground. Natural history becomes visible here!
