Our day trip to the Atlas Mountains begins with our introduction at either your Riad or hotel in Marrakech at 09:00. We set off to the Atlas Mountains; our first rest break being Tahanaout, meeting local villagers at the traditional Argan oil co-operative, experiencing the versatile uses given to the hand produced oil and being shown the process itself! We are then driven up to Asni valley (1000m) for our next adventure. Also here our camel guide will be waiting to take us on a 'ship of the desert' across the Asni river; then passing through the Juniper forest. Our drive continues into the wonderful sights and surrounding exquisite terrain. After a welcoming cup of mint tea, we will embark on a 2-3 hours guided tour around the Berber villages, with option of riding mules for the less energetic. After this hike (mule ride) we enjoy a traditional Berber lunch( three courses), which can not be missed! within a Berber house to experience the local lifestyle.
