Itinerary
we start our journey around 9 am towards the Ourika valley. Stroll through typical countryside villages of the High Atlas. There will be short stops along the way to admire magnificent panoramic views as well as visits to sites like the enchanting organic garden and a traditional Berber house. Finally, you will arrive in a village located in a canyon under the High Atlas mountains. it is an opportunity to get away from the noise of Marrakech. As the temperature gets colder, it's a great place in the summer to beat the heat. While lunch and refreshments are not included, take the time to enjoy one of the many cafes along the climb to the Setti Fatma waterfalls, where you can expect to find a local specialty for lunch. Plan to return to Marrakech around 5 p.m.

J Je tiens à vous remercier pour votre visite et pour votre commentaire . Nous aurons le plaisir de vous revoir prochainement.
My 3rd trip to the mountains and Ourika Valley and this one was just as amazing as the previous times. I booked a private trip as I'm disabled and need flexibility and certainly received this. My driver, Ismael, was kind & courteous, spoke good English and was attentive to my needs - very reassuring. We had a good drive into the mountains to Ourika Valley (about 90 minutes) with a stop for tea on the way. Arriving at the location of the cascades we met Hakim, my guide who helped me reach the top cascade (number 6) without difficulty (there are further cascades higher in the mountains but these require overnight stays). Hakim's spoke English and was informative about the geography, people, wildlife and flora which added to the amazing views giving a wonderful experience, Met by Ismael on returning from the cascades and had lunch by the river and couldn't resist a paddle (the water is alpine fresh but a little chilly!) We than had a comfortable drive back with stops at my request to go shopping and the local shops along the roadsides. Amazing views across the valley and returned safely to my hotel in Marrakech. Many thanks Ismael & Hakim for another wonderful adventure :) An excellent day trip, highly recommended
Thank you very much for your review. We hope to see you soon

We had a very good day in the Ourika Valley. Super caring and interesting guide for visiting the waterfalls. Busy day with a visit to a herbalist cooperative, a typical Berber house. Recommended 100%
