    Ourika Valley

    Departure from your Riad/Hotel from 09:00 towards the High Atlas Mountains. Carved by a fiery torrent, the Ourika Valley extends between the first foothills of the Atlas; this beautiful green valley is certainly one of the best preserved valleys in Morocco. Enjoy more of the incredible nature that surrounds the winding road and take amazing photos with the natural road. Learn more with our driver about the benefits of a local natural product called argan oil in a small village, the local staff will explain the benefits of this special product to you. Then take him to visit the Berber house and learn more about Berber culture Continuing along the Ourika valley, one is struck by the banks of the Oued whose meadows are generously shaded by poplars and other weeping willows that are unusual at this latitude.

    Setti Fatma and the 7 Cascades

    The road stops at Setti Fatma. There, many more or less difficult hikes begin. The most requested is the discovery of the 7 waterfalls of Setti Fatma. We will cross the wooden footbridge, suspended above the Ourika wadi, before launching. After 1h30 of climbing, you will have well deserved a picnic break under the trees, facing a very picturesque panorama of the douars of the valley. You can also go for a walk on the heights of Setti-Fatma, towards the woods. And don't forget to bring your hiking shoes
