Overview

Start your adventure with an early morning pickup from your hotel or riad in Marrakech. Sit back and enjoy a beautiful 3-hour drive through the Middle Atlas Mountains, passing peaceful olive groves and authentic Berber villages along the way — a perfect introduction to Morocco’s rural charm.

Upon reaching the magnificent Ouzoud Waterfalls, you’ll be greeted by the breathtaking sight of water plunging more than 110 meters into a lush green valley. Often referred to as the “jewel of the Middle Atlas,” this natural wonder is one of the most impressive and beloved destinations in Morocco.

Your guided walk will take you along scenic trails and viewpoints surrounding the falls, offering plenty of opportunities for memorable photos and up-close views of the cascading water. If you like, you can enjoy a short boat ride near the base of the falls — a fun and refreshing optional activity. Keep an eye on the treetops, as wild Barbary macaques often appear nearby, adding a playful touch to your visit.

Around midday, enjoy a delicious traditional Moroccan lunch at a restaurant overlooking the waterfalls. Savor dishes such as tagine, couscous, or freshly grilled fish while enjoying the peaceful ambiance of the valley.

After lunch, enjoy free time to continue exploring, relax by the river, or soak in the serenity of the surrounding nature.

At the end of the afternoon, we’ll make our way back to Marrakech, arriving in the evening after a full day of beautiful landscapes, fresh mountain air, and unforgettable moments.
