Excursion Ouzoud Falls

1 Day

Overview

Admire one of Morocco’s natural wonders on a day trip to the Ouzoud Falls from Marrakech. Travel into the Atlas Mountains by and air-conditioned vehicle, and witness the stunning, 360-foot (110-meter) waterfalls as they plunge down rugged cliffs. Take photos from various viewpoints, and, if you wish, visit the caves that house watermills powered by the falls. Watch for local Barbary apes or rainbows above the cascades, and savor lunch at a restaurant along the shaded waterfall path.
Start your day trip with a pickup and hop inside your air-conditioned vehicle and enjoy the views as you travel to Ouzoud waterfalls, on the way listen to fascinating facts about the berber culture and Ouzoud Falls and how they rank as the highest natural waterfalls in north Africa. After 2h30min journey meet your local knowledgeable guide for a walking tour of about one hour and follow the path to the lip of the falls. Then, behold the tiered cascades that tumble from different heights down into a natural amphitheater of red-colored rock cliffs. Absorb the roar of the cascades as you take photos, and with luck, see some of the Barbary apes that congregate by the water or one of the shimmering rainbows that form in the mists wreathed around the plunging waters. Visit several view points and walk down steps to the base and explore the bottom part of the waterfalls on an included boat trip and see the falls from a unique angle. Having taken in the full beauty of the area, enjoy an exclusive lunch at one of the restaurants along the path to the falls with an amazing view. Lastly, enjoy your return journey to Marrakech, where your trip ends with drop-off at the meeting point.
