Ourika Valley and High Atlas Mountains Escape
Arrive at the Ourika Valley, sixty-five kilometres from Marrakech in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains. Even though it is close to the populated city, the valley is one of the most unspoiled in all of Morocco.
See a maze of lush greenery within salt mines. The region is, without a doubt, the perfect destination for people who seek Moroccan adventure, discovery, relaxation, and meditation.
Witness the Ourika River, which begins in the High Atlas Mountains and runs down towards Marrakesh.
Observe a number of plant species and rare Barbary macaques.
See the beautiful splendour of the High Atlas mountain region without trekking to the summit.
The trek begins at a Berber village called Setti Fadma. Walk with a local guide for an hour or more until you reach the waterfalls of the valley. At this point, there are seven cascades, which provide a resplendent place to take pictures.
Have a drink by the river and enjoy lunch at a local Berber family house.
