Description
Not only are they Morocco's original inhabitants, but possibly as ancient as the world itself, the Berber people live their lives relatively unchanged and largely overlooked by the rest of the globe. The trek up the famed Berber Trail heads directly into this remote and beautiful world, situated high in Morocco's Atlas Mountains.
The adventure begins in four-wheel drive, bouncing along rough and rugged roads from Marrakech directly up and into the Atlas range. The wild, otherworldly beauty of the region lends a mystical air to the ascent as you pass through valleys and climb massive mountains. Quaint villages, ancient structures and, most notably, smiling faces dot the landscape, giving the sense of the history and close-knit culture that defines this place. Depending on the season, you may encounter lush vegetation and slopes covered with sheep, or impressive snow-covered peaks.
Although the journey along the historic Berber Trail and its tribal villages and people are enough to leave you full of wonder, your tour of the grain mills at Tahanaout will underscore your sense of the simple and beautiful way the Berbers live their daily lives. You'll leave the Berber Trail with your own moment in history and a true understanding of another way of life.

Cumple con lo que ofrece. Marrakech fue una sorpresa, no estaba en nuestros planes. El traslados desde y hasta hoteles céntricos en las áreas Gueliz y Hivernage vale por sí solo. La reserva fue simple y llegó la confirmación al toque. El único punto flojo fue el aire acondicionado, que no daba abasto. Con esos detalles arreglados sería un 10.

Worth far more than what it costs. The Montanhas Atlas area at night is something else. The guide gave us restaurant tips that turned out to be spot on. Great that language: english was included. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Marrakech.

Impecável, não tenho nenhuma ressalva. Não pode perder Montanhas Atlas. Sai mais que fazer solto, mas poupa toda a organização. Não pode perder Silos de Grãos. O língua inglesa nos poupou tempo e dinheiro. Obrigado pelo dia que nos proporcionaram.

Positivo en general
La pasamos bien, lo recomiendo con un par de salvedades. Nunca hubiéramos llegado a Local Restaurant por nuestra cuenta. El grupo no era enorme, lo que hizo todo más cómodo. Le falta señalización en el punto de salida, nos costó encontrarlo. Vale la pena, sabiendo lo anterior.

Vale muchísimo más de lo que cuesta. El paisaje en Silos de Grãos no entra en una foto. Se respetó al minuto el horario de regreso. Lo recomendaría a cualquiera que visite Marrakech.

Excellent
Faultless, honestly. Everything ran on time and was well organised. The live musicians take the evening up a level. If you are in Marrakech, do not miss it.
