The wellknown Ourika Valley is one of the top spots to visit for tourists in Marrakech as well as for locals who like to escape the city for a nice day out in the nature. After a short 1 hour drive out of the bustling city, you’ll find a whole different world in the High Atlas Mountains.
During the drive, you’ll experience the beautiful landscape with the traditional Berber villages and the fruit orchards. If you like, you can visit a local women’s argan oil co-operative and buy some nice souvenirs. Follow the Ourika River to the famous village of Setti Fatma. Here you can find a wide range of restaurants and it is the starting point for walking tour to the 7 waterfalls. If you like, you can hike and climb up to the falls. Feel the spray of the freezing water and enjoy!
If you don’t feel like hiking or if the trail is too wet, you have the opportunity to visit the amazing ANIMA Garden, a green oasis full of art pieces made by the austrian artist André Heller.
Return travel to Marrakech by car and drop off at your Hotel/Riad.
