In a few words

From north to south, an unprecedented crossing of the Moroccan Atlas Mountains : this is the guiding thread of this extraordinary journey. By packraft, we link the splendid Aït Bougmez Valley to the Valley of Roses , where the change of scenery is total .

For seven days, we explored these valleys via their rivers. A wild canyon, inaccessible by vehicle , connects these two valleys. Paddling from village to village then became a unique way to immerse ourselves in an incredible landscape , where mountains and valleys follow one another.

Each day combines hiking , packrafting , and warm encounters with the locals. These interactions open the doors to local traditions and Berber culture, offering an in-depth exploration.

Between unspoiled nature and local heritage, this packraft adventure is much more than a simple trip: it's an authentic interlude, a return to the essentials, to be experienced intensely .

The highlights

  • Alternating between hiking, packrafting and cultural visits
  • Exploring the valleys of Aït Bougmez and Roses
  • A small group for a reduced impact and greater proximity

Documents required to enter the country

For nationals of European countries and Switzerland, you must have a current passport, valid for at least 6 months after your return.

When you go through immigration, be sure to specify that you are a tourist. They will give you the name of the hotel to enter.

If you have any questions about this, please contact us.


Visa

No visa is required for stays of less than 90 days for nationals of European countries and Switzerland (information as of November 2024).

For other nationalities, we are available to assist you with your procedures.


Insurance

Please note that, given the nature of our trips, which are often long-distance and sometimes involve significant isolation, we strongly recommend that all participants have health and repatriation insurance (for example, through their bank card or another personal insurance policy). Upon registration, we ask for your insurer's name, policy number, and assistance contact number so that we can respond quickly in case of an emergency.

If you have any doubts, please contact us.


Vaccines

Mandatory vaccinations: No vaccinations are mandatory, except for the yellow fever vaccine for travelers from countries in sub-Saharan Africa or Latin America where the disease is present.

Recommended vaccinations: It is advisable to be up-to-date on:

Diphtheria, tetanus, poliomyelitis (DTP);

Hepatitis A and B;

Whooping cough (particularly due to its reappearance in adults, even in France).

In addition, consider typhoid and rabies vaccinations depending on the conditions of your trip.

Malaria prevention: Although practically eradicated, malaria can still occur in very localized areas of Morocco in a mild form. No medication is necessary, but prioritize good protection against mosquito bites (repellents, long-sleeved clothing, insecticide-treated mosquito nets).


Hygiene and other health risks

Adhering to strict hygiene rules reduces the risks of parasites, infections, and foodborne illnesses:

Wash your hands frequently.

Consume only well-cooked food served hot.

Opt for bottled drinks.

Warning: foodborne illness can occur, including in hotels.


Medical infrastructure

Medical infrastructure is satisfactory in major cities such as Casablanca, Rabat, Marrakech, and Agadir.

In case of urgent care, consult your assistance company and the services of the French Embassy in Rabat (tel.: 00 212 537689700).
