Ouzoud Waterfalls Day Trip from Marrakech

Itinerary :

The trip begins with a comfortable drive north of Marrakech, passing through the fertile Tadla plains, dotted with olive groves, peach orchards, and apricot farms. The scenic route takes you approximately three hours into the Atlas Mountains, offering plenty of opportunities to admire the changing landscapes.

Upon arrival in the village of Ouzoud, visitors can optionally hire a local guide to accompany them on a gentle hike down to the base of the waterfalls. The path winds through lush greenery, providing numerous vantage points to enjoy panoramic views of the 110-meter cascades. At the base, the shimmering rainbows that form across the falls, combined with the sight of mischievous Barbary macaques leaping through the trees, create a magical atmosphere.

Lunch can be enjoyed at one of the riverside cafés, where a traditional Berber tagine offers a delicious taste of local cuisine while taking in the tranquil scenery. Afterward, there is free time to explore the area further, photograph the falls, or take an optional boat ride at the foot of the cascades for a different perspective of this natural wonder.

The day concludes with a leisurely drive back to Marrakech, arriving in the late afternoon or early evening, leaving guests with unforgettable memories of Morocco’s stunning natural landscapes and rich wildlife.
