Marrakech to Ouzoud Falls in the Atlas Mountains is an incredible excursion. This adventure combines natural splendor, wildlife encounters, and fun activities. As you journey through the Haouz plain and lovely villages, the natural beauty will fascinate you.
On arrival, relax in the falls’ tranquility, take a stroll, and maybe even swim in the pristine waters. This day trip promises a relaxing escape into nature with panoramic vistas and lively monkeys.
Departure from your hotel or riad in Marrakech early in the morning at 8 am and you will be accompanied by an English-speaking driver/guide. The road that you take crosses the plain of Haouz and a succession of villages and small towns. A mountain road then leads to Ouzoud Falls, about 110 meters high, located in the province of Tanaghmeilt, 150 kilometers from Marrakech, in the Atlas Mountains.
The walk near the waterfalls is really beautiful; you can approach the waterfalls on both sides while contemplating the fauna and flora of the region. Do not be surprised to see monkeys that are very numerous.
The more intrepid can opt for a swim in the river; the water is very clean even if its temperature is not very high.
Descent to discover the beautiful waterfalls that spring among the olive trees. You take a nice walk around the area and see the signs. Lunch in a restaurant with panoramic views of the waterfalls. Return to Marrakech by the same road. Arrive at your hotel or riad at the end of the day.
You will admire the nearby olive trees that gave their Berber name to the waterfalls and carob trees. You will also see monkeys moving freely in their natural habitat around you and swaying from olive tree to olive tree. From the plain to the mountains, the road leading to the Cascades d’Ouzoud crosses many Berber villages. Arrived at 900 m of altitude, you discover one of the most beautiful natural attractions of Morocco: 3 big waterfalls dividing in a complex network to feed ponds, 100 m lower, where it is good to bathe. You will be able to have lunch with the deaf sound and soothing falls, in small cafes and restaurants installed on terraces. The magots, funny little monkeys, will not fail to come and tease you.
