Marrakesh: Atlas Mountains, Ourika Valley, Waterfall / Guide

The assistant/tour guide will brief you, about all details of your day.

After picking you up from your Hotel or a meeting point if your accommodation is inaccessible by car, be ready to start your day trip.

Your first stop will be to visit the Berber, or Amazigh, villages and immerse yourself in their unique culture and lifestyle. These traditional communities offer a glimpse into the centuries-old ways of life of the indigenous Moroccan people. As you explore the villages, you'll have the chance to admire their distinctive architecture, observe local artisans at work, and perhaps even coincide your visit with the weekly souk (market) on Mondays or Thursdays, where you can browse the vibrant open-air market and interact with the local vendors.

Your next stop, which is optional, is the Women's Argan Cooperative. Here, you'll learn about the sustainable harvesting and processing of argan nuts, a valuable resource native to Morocco, and the cooperative's important role in empowering local women through this traditional industry. (This visit is an encouragement to these women.)

The third stop on your itinerary is a Berber house, where you'll have the opportunity to tour a traditional family home and gain insights into the domestic life and cultural traditions of the Berber people. The interior design and other elements of the home will provide a deeper understanding of their way of living.

Once you arrive in Setti Fadma, you'll meet your local guide and embark the hiking to reach the stunning waterfalls in the area. After the hike, you'll have 1 hour of free time to enjoy a delicious local lunch by the Ourika River and admire the vibrant and picturesque natural landscape surrounding you.

At the end of this unforgettable day, you'll be ready to return to Marrakech, having immersed yourself in the rich cultural heritage and breathtaking natural beauty of the Berber region.
