Ouzoud Waterfalls Day Trip with Imi n'Ifri and Lunch
Overview
The Ouzoud waterfalls are the highest in North Africa and one of the most beautiful natural places in Morocco. The water drops in several levels into a green canyon, with rainbows in the spray on sunny days.
With a local guide you walk down past old mills and olive trees, meet the friendly Barbary monkeys, and cross the river on a colourful boat. There is time for lunch with a view of the falls and for a swim in summer.
