Located 160 km from Marrakech, the Ouzoud Waterfalls are one of the most beautiful sites in the Middle Atlas. These stunning waterfalls, often crowned with a near-permanent rainbow, cascade 110 meters down into a basin of limestone rocks amid lush vegetation. You can swim at the foot of the falls, accessible via a shaded path lined with olive trees.
At the top of the falls, near the impressive gorge, you’ll find a dozen ancient grain mills still operational thanks to the torrent’s water. At dusk, you can observe entire families of monkeys playing in the carob trees, whose delicious fruits they adore. About a hundred Barbary macaques, with their beige fur and eyes encircled by black lines, have made their homes in the cliff caves.
