If you come from Marrakech to join us at the Ecosite, your journey will pass through one of the most emblematic stages of the region: Lalla Takerkoust. A true oasis made green by the presence of its famous dam, this stage is much more than a simple crossing point. This is where the heart of local women's crafts beats.

A solidarity and gourmet stopover

Along the road, you will discover several women's cooperatives dedicated to the extraction of argan. These places are spaces of transmission where ancestral know-how mixes with sincere hospitality.

By opening the door of one of these argan farms, you will be welcomed with a smile for total immersion:

• The discovery of the gesture: Observe the meticulous work of the women who crush the argan nuts by hand, a technique that has not changed for centuries.
• Tasting: Let yourself be tempted by a traditional snack. This is the opportunity to taste the real Amlou (the famous Berber spread made from argan, almonds and honey), regional honey and edible argan oil, with inimitable hazelnut notes.
• Natural care :The cooperatives offer a wide range of cosmetic products: pure oils, black soaps and artisanal creams, renowned for their protective and regenerating properties.

Why stop there?

Support These cooperatives mean participating directly in the economic emancipation of women in the Lalla Takerkoust region. It is also the assurance of leaving with authentic products, far from industrial circuits, while taking the time to live at the local rhythm before arriving at the estate.

Advice from Atlas Ecosite: Do not hesitate to ask the women to explain the different stages of extraction to you. It’s a rich exchange that gives even more value to the products you bring back in your suitcases.
