Discover Adventure:
Morocco Eclipse Trek
31 July - 7 August 2027
This fantastic adventure will be a unique trekking challenge to experience a total solar eclipse!
The beautiful Rif Mountains – Morocco’s northernmost chain of mountains – will be our backdrop to this exciting week of trekking. Influenced by their proximity to the Mediterranean, the mountain slopes are a verdant green compared to the taller, more barren, High Atlas. The trek takes in deep gorges and stunning rock formations, tumbling waterfalls and traditional villages, and – on the first day of trekking – the eclipse. The awe-inspiring experience of almost five minutes of daytime darkness when the moon obscures the sun will be sure to motivate you through any tough moments over the coming days.
While the heat will undoubtedly add to the challenge, you will stay in hotels and gites overnight for more comfort. There will be plenty of time to explore the captivating ‘Blue City’ of Chefchaouen, known for its photogenic blue-washed buildings and fascinating old Medina. With time on the coast and in historic Tetouan as well, this trip is an unforgettable combination of fulfilling trekking, cultural discovery, and the power of nature.
