Join us and immerse yourself fully in the culture of two unique countries on two continents: Portugal and Morocco. You should sign on with us if you enjoy: exquisite and authentic food, wine, colorful towns, and riding camels. You’ll be set with a squad of fun-loving and goofy leaders who bonded over their trip last year and are determined to lead the best Mtrek yet!
We kick off in northern Portugal in the colorful city of Porto, a great introduction to Portuguese culture and the wine scene. We’ll then swing down south to the Algarve’s coastal gem of a city, Lagos. Here we’ll soak up some sun when we explore the stunning Lagos coastline, and we’ll learn more about the history of the region, from the Visigoths to the Moors. After bidding “Tchau” to Portugal, we depart for Morocco in Northern Africa where we’ll set up base in Marrakech. We’ve heard that Morocco offers a wealth of colorful cityscapes and delightful entertainment as we wander through the markets. We’ll take a day trip to coastal town of Essaouira to sample Morocco’s take on seafood, and (because we’re extra) a trip to the Agafay desert where we’ll ride camels and stay overnight in a traditional Berber camp! We’re packing a lot in (food, activities, and wine), so if you’re looking for a low-key beach trip, steer clear! But if you want a truly authentic, life-changing start to your business school experience, we’ll see you in Porto.
