Just 167km and 2 hours
driving from Marrakech and a world away from the city heat are the Ouzoud
Waterfalls. The trip starts in about 8am by picking you up from your Hotel or
Riad in Marrakech or the nearest point accessible to the car. But still the
driver come till your Hotel by feet if the car is not accessible to the hotel.
In the way to the
waterfalls you’ll be driven by fields of olive trees on a scenic drive towards
the Ouzoud Waterfalls. Around 10 AM we’ll jump out for a break to enjoy mint
tea or coffee and the beautiful views at the natural bridge of Imi Nifri.
When we’ll be there you can
follow well-trodden paths to the base of the falls starts from the top of
Ouzoud, to the left of the Dar Essalam, then zigzags past cafes and souvenirs
stalls to the great basins below the cascades, where boatmen in rickety rafts
row visitors to the pool, the first viewpoint, halfway down the path, is the
best spot to see the largest arching rainbow that appears in the mist around
the falls, and is close to feel the spray on your face.
At the bottom of the falls you can hike further along the riverbed to more peaceful lower pools where you can swim although strictly speaking it’s not permitted. If you are feeling adventurous an exciting walk explores underground passages close to the nearby Berber village. Along the way, you might spot the occasional Barbary macaque under the oak and pomegranate trees; your best chance is at daybreak or an hour or so before dusk, when they come to drink in the river.
While in Morocco we are
pleased to support the wonderful work of Ennajah Association and Chabab Time,
two nonprofit organizations. the first one based in Zagora and aims to create
sustainable development in community through The Fight Against School Dropouts
of girls by providing transportation and providing water for the population ...
The second one is based
in Rabat but works all over Morocco and aims to motivate young people to
actively participate in Public life. We may also pick a local Berber
school to donate supplies & small toys, spreading joy in simple ways, and
giving a bit back to the local people of the area.
Last but not least, we
want you to have the opportunity to give back, to support vulnerable families
in meaningful ways. To build authentic connections and know that your visit
matters. That when you leave, you’ll take carpets and Argan oil and lanterns
and photographs and memories, but you’ll also leave a mark that made a
difference.
