7-Day Trek to Sirwa Massif

Situated in the southern part of the Toubkal range, Jebel Sirwa (3,305 meters) is a dormant volcanic range that connects the High Atlas to the Anti-Atlas. It stands as the remnant of a once towering ancient stratovolcano, now characterized by geological dams and black lava streams. The volcano’s origins date back to the late Miocene or early Pliocene. This region is adorned with kasbahs, douars (small hamlets), and villages boasting collective granaries or fortifications known as Igoudars, emblematic of the strong traditions of the Amazigh people.

In these fertile valleys, almonds, figs, nuts, cacti, and canes thrive alongside fields of corn, barley, and saffron, nourished by sandy soils.
