Overview
Leave Marrakech before dawn and trade the medina’s heat for mountain air on a full‑day loop: an hour exploring the cavernous Imi n'Ifri with a local guide, then a hike and lunch beside the 110m Ouzoud Waterfalls. Expect geology, local stories, olive groves—and practical trails that reward steady shoes.

You step out of the minaret-shadowed chaos of Jemaa el‑Fna into an air that tastes cleaner by the minute—orange trees give way to low Atlas foothills, and the coach hums along a ribbon of highway toward Demnate.

Adventure Tips
Start early
Pickup begins around 8:00 AM; early departure avoids midafternoon crowds at Ouzoud and gives cooler cave conditions.
Wear grippy shoes
Paths at Imi n'Ifri and the Ouzoud rims are steep and uneven—trail shoes or light hiking boots are recommended.
Bring a refillable water bottle
You’ll be on trail and in sun for most of the day—2–3 liters per person recommended depending on heat.
Respect wildlife and sites
Do not disturb nesting birds or geological features; follow your guide’s route to protect fragile habitats.
