The Toubkal National Park is the perfect destination for anyone seeking an active break in a Morocco villa. The park is situated close to Marrakesh, which means that there are plenty of accommodation options to anyone who wants to fully explore the great outdoors of this lovely country. Home to the nation's highest peak - Mount Toubkal - you are sure to find spectacular scenery on any visit to this part of Morocco. The mountain stands at 4,167 metres in height and is the second highest in Africa, after Kilimanjaro in Kenya. Climbing to the top of this natural wonder might be a challenge which you are ready to take on and one which will be incredibly rewarding, especially as you reach the summit and are presented with striking views across the High Atlas Mountains. Trekking up the peak from the village of Imlil takes approximately two-and-a-half days, with a similar time to come back down. It is strongly recommended that you enlist the services of a local guide if you intend to take on this challenging climb. But if mountaineering isn't your thing then don't worry because there are still plenty of ways for you to enjoy the natural beauty of the Toubkal National Park. As well as a wide range of hiking routes to suit all abilities, you can also book onto a trekking trip which will take you on a tour through the foothills on the back of a donkey. If you like managing your own time while on holiday then booking a villa in Morocco is a great way to explore this north African country. You can choose when you get up and how much - or how little - you do. Walking around the park you will come across stunning landscapes, including deep gorges carved out of the mountains by rivers and you're sure to spot some interesting wildlife if you keep your eyes peeled. Among the creatures you could spot are golden eagles and white snake eagles which can be seen gliding across the clear skies. In addition to the natural scenery, there is plenty on offer for culture vultures who book into Marrakesh villas for their stay. The city has a number of attractions that can keep you occupied for days if you decide to mix your outdoor break with some culture and history. No visit to Marrakesh would be complete without a visit to one of its many souks - or markets - which can be found on its winding streets. Make sure you leave room in your suitcase for all the trinkets and souvenirs that you're sure to find in these bazaars. But shopping is not the only activity to do in Marrakesh. Any visit to the city would not be complete without a trip to see some of its most famous monuments. Among them is the Koutoubia Mosque with its striking minaret that is said to have inspired the builders of the Giralda in Seville. So, if you are looking for a combination of culture and nature on a holiday then you could not find a better place to visit than Marrakesh and the neighbouring Toubkal National Park.
