About This Adventure

Journey deep into the Middle Atlas Mountains to witness one of nature's most spectacular displays: the Ouzoud Waterfalls. Towering at 110 meters (360 feet), these are the highest cascades in North Africa, plunging over red sandstone cliffs into a roar of mist and rainbows.

Upon arrival, you'll hike down a well-maintained path shaded by olive trees to the bottom of the falls. Keep your camera ready—this area is home to wild Barbary macaque monkeys who are often playful and eager for peanuts!

At the base, you can enjoy a refreshing traditional boat ride close to the spray of the falls. Afterward, savor a delicious Berber Tagine at one of the scenic restaurants overlooking the cascades, offering one of the best lunch views in Morocco.
