Ouzoud Waterfalls Day Trip from Marrakech
Ouzoud Waterfalls Day Trip from Marrakech
Set off on a captivating day trip from Marrakech to the Ouzoud Waterfalls, one of Morocco’s most stunning natural wonders. Located approximately 150 kilometers northeast of Marrakech, this breathtaking cascade of water plunges 110 meters into a lush valley, creating an awe-inspiring sight surrounded by olive groves and rich greenery.
The journey begins with a morning departure from Marrakech, traveling through the scenic Middle Atlas Mountains. As you make your way toward the falls, you’ll pass through charming Berber villages and rolling hills, with the landscape gradually transitioning into a more fertile and verdant region as you approach the falls. Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by the sight of the waterfalls, their refreshing mist rising into the air.
You’ll have the opportunity to take a leisurely walk along well-marked paths to get different viewpoints of the falls. The area is home to a variety of flora and fauna, including wild monkeys that roam freely, adding an extra layer of magic to the visit. For those interested, you can take a boat ride to get up close to the base of the falls, feeling the cool spray on your face.
During your visit, enjoy a traditional Moroccan lunch at a restaurant overlooking the falls, where you can savor local specialties like tagine or couscous, accompanied by the serene sounds of the rushing water in the background. After lunch, take time to relax by the river or explore the surrounding olive groves before beginning your return journey to Marrakech.
In the afternoon, you’ll head back to Marrakech, arriving by the evening after a refreshing day in nature.
