Trade Marrakech’s medina maze for the raw rush of Ouzoud: a 110‑meter waterfall, cliffside cafés, and curious Barbary macaques. This full‑day trip pairs an easy loop hike with local flavors and guaranteed views.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You arrive as the canyon exhales: mist rising, a thunder of water, and the smell of damp earth and lemon tagine drifting from a cliffside café. The 110‑meter cascade known as Ouzoud Falls drops in segmented curtains over red rock, olive groves clinging to terraces, and narrow paths that push you close enough to feel the spray.

History
The falls sit in a long‑inhabited Atlas foothill zone where Berber communities farm terraces and olive groves; the site has been a local meeting place for centuries.
Conservation
Tourism supports local livelihoods but brings litter and wildlife disturbance; stick to marked paths, avoid feeding animals, and use local guides and cafés to benefit the community.
