🏜️ The adventure begins!

Your buggy trip kicks off near the stunning Lalla Takerkoust dam — a breathtaking 7-kilometer-long reservoir nestled at the foot of the Atlas Mountains. This majestic artificial lake, with its shimmering blue waters, sets the perfect stage for the adventure ahead. Soon, you’ll veer off the beaten path and dive straight into the untamed beauty of Turtle Valley, an extraordinary stretch of wilderness where arid, lunar-like plateaus melt into lush green oases.

Every turn of your buggy brings a new surprise — dramatic landscapes, earthy trails, and the raw silence of nature. It’s a journey that awakens your senses and gives you a rare opportunity to disconnect, breathe deeply, and live fully in the moment.

🏞️ Exploring Berber villages and panoramic stops

During your buggy trip, you’ll wind your way through a series of charming Berber villages tucked into the hillsides — places where life flows gently to the rhythm of tradition. Here, the modern world feels far away, and each encounter with the locals is a chance to share a smile, a story, or a glass of tea. This cultural immersion adds a human touch to your adventure, revealing the soul of Morocco.

The ride continues to the legendary Kik Plateau, one of the most scenic high points in the region. From this natural balcony, you’ll enjoy sweeping views over the shimmering waters of Lake Lalla Takerkoust, with the towering snow-capped peaks of the High Atlas stretching across the horizon. It’s a moment to pause, breathe in the mountain air, and let the raw beauty of the landscape sink in.

🍵Tea break with the locals

As part of your buggy trip, you’ll be graciously welcomed into a traditional Berber home, where time seems to slow down. There, over a steaming glass of fragrant Moroccan mint tea — the ultimate symbol of hospitality — you’ll experience the warmth and generosity of the local people. This is more than just a refreshment break; it’s a heartfelt moment of exchange and authenticity, all while soaking in the serene, panoramic views of the turquoise waters of Lake Lalla Takerkoust shimmering below. A peaceful pause that will remain etched in your memory long after your adventure ends.

🛣️ Return via an alternative trail

The return leg of your buggy trip takes you along a new trail, revealing fresh, spectacular panoramas of the Moroccan countryside. Every turn surprises you with breathtaking views — from arid plateaus to hidden green valleys — offering a completely different perspective from the outbound route. For thrill-seekers, this path includes a few technical challenges to spice up the ride, all under the watchful eye of our experienced guides. Whether you’re a beginner or an adrenaline addict, every moment is tailored for fun, discovery, and unforgettable memories.

🚐Return to Marrakech

At the end of your buggy trip, your driver will be waiting at the meeting point to take you comfortably back to Marrakech.
