Overview
Escape the bustling madness of Marrakech and find ultimate tranquility within the refreshing mountain breezes of the Ourika Valley, situated deep in the foothills of the scenic High Atlas Mountains. Centered around a bubbling glacier-fed river, Ourika is an active oasis of rich fruit orchards, olive trees, and red clay Berber villages that cling beautifully to sheer vertical cliffs.
This full-day tour is the absolute favorite for travelers wishing to combine beautiful nature walks, rich cultural experiences, and delicious food. Hike to the famous Setti Fatma seven cascades with our expert native mountain guide, cross suspension bridges, visit a vibrant women-led Argan oil cooperative, and sit back at beautiful carpeted cafes directly hovering on the river current to enjoy a slow-cooked charcoal tagine lunch. Experience Morocco's famous tranquility, just a short scenic drive away from Marrakech.
