Imlil is a moroccan village located SE of Marrakech city, at the western High Atlas mountain range. It sits at the foot of mount Toubkal, the highest summit in North Africa. Apart from the classic adventure of summiting Toubkal, Imlil is home to many beautiful places that can be visited in a single day hike. The following circuit is one example. Starting from Arghen village, home to beautiful oak trees, it goes through Imlil waterfalls, Armed Waterfall, Tidli forest then Tamatert village and finally returning back to Imlil.
