A one day excursion to experience a wonderful oasis in the Altas
Discover the magnificent Ouzoud waterfalls, a veritable oasis of freshness just 150 km from Marrakech. In summer, when temperatures soar, Marrakesh's residents flock to this enchanting spot. The Ouzoud waterfalls, considered to be the most beautiful in Morocco, offer a unique and splendid spectacle. The very name Ouzoud, which means "gentle" in Arabic, perfectly reflects the peaceful atmosphere of this place.
Rising to a height of almost 110 metres, this astonishing waterfall is nestled in a lush green landscape. You'll be surrounded by olive trees, bougainvillea and pleasant coolness. They are the highest waterfalls in Morocco and the second highest in Africa. Don't be surprised to see mountain monkeys playing spectator.
To reach the Ouzoud waterfalls, prepare yourself for a 2 hours journey through the bright Moroccan sunshine. But the spectacle that awaits you is well worth the effort, with the most beautiful waterfall in the whole of North Africa and a permanent rainbow overhanging the cascades.
Once you arrive at Ouzoud, you'll take well-kept paths shaded by olive, fig, almond and carob trees, which will lead you straight to the waterfalls set in lush red sandstone. There, you'll be amazed by the downpours of water that fall from the heavens to crash onto the rocks. You can bathe in the crystal-clear waters or simply enjoy the atmosphere by sampling delicious food in one of the riverside gargotes.
The mischievous macaque monkeys will be watching you, ready to offer you memorable moments for unforgettable photos. The guides will take you to the source of the waterfalls, offering a refreshing walk and a chance to discover an ancient local activity linked to olive production.
