Description

We’ll rendezvous with you at your lodging in Marrakech for a tour to explore two natural marvels of Southern Morocco. Our journey spans approximately 2.5 hours through picturesque green valleys towards the Middle Atlas Mountains. Along the way, we traverse through expanses of fruit and olive orchards, amidst a landscape speckled with quaint red-earthed Berber villages. These villages provide glimpses of solitary locals amidst rugged terrains that seem to stretch endlessly into the unknown.

Upon reaching Ouzoud, where cafes line the edges, inviting pools await, and an amphitheater of waterfalls unfolds, you descend the steps beyond the modest Berber accommodations and quaint eateries. Here, stalls offer tantalizing tagines simmering over open-air charcoal stoves.

The spectacle of water cascading from six distinct falls over two prominences captivates the senses. Guided by a local Berber, you traverse various vantage points on foot to explore the cascades. Downstream, small pools beckon for leisurely swims, while the option to cross the river presents itself with the aid of diminutive rafts.

Indulge in the breathtaking natural beauty of this area at your own pace, relishing in the refreshing mists from the cascading waterfalls. Explore the rustic stalls and artisan shops that have emerged along the riverbanks. Take your time enjoying lunch at a café overlooking the falls, where you may even encounter the local Barbary monkeys up close.

During our journey back, we make a stop at Imi n’Ifri, where a naturally formed rock bridge connects to an intricate underground cave network, providing ample opportunities for capturing spectacular photos amidst the stunning vistas of the gorge below.
