Natural Wonders of the High Atlas

This Natural Wonders of the High Atlas day trip will take you on an unforgettable journey northeast of Marrakech to explore two of the most breathtaking natural highlights of the Grand Atlas Mountains: the Ouzoud Waterfalls and the Imi N’Ifri natural bridge.

Your Ouzoud Waterfalls and Imi N’Ifri begins with a visit to the impressive natural arch at Imi N’Ifri, located near the rural village of Demnate. This magnificent geological formation is one of the most famous arches in Morocco and stretches over an area of 1,500 square meters. As you walk down the many steps leading to the base of the cascades, you’ll pass under the grand arch, which is a true natural wonder. What makes this arch even more unique is that its opening resembles the map of Africa, offering an impressive view from below. The surrounding atmosphere is nothing short of magical, with lush green plants hanging from the rock formations, water droplets falling gently from the ceiling of the arch, and flocks of birds continually flying around the cave’s mouth. It’s a peaceful and enchanting experience that immerses you in the beauty of nature.

After exploring Imi N’Ifri, your Ouzoud Waterfalls and Imi N’Ifri Day Trip continues to the stunning Cascades d’Ouzoud, the second tallest waterfall in Africa and one of the most popular natural attractions in Morocco. Ouzoud Waterfalls stand proudly in the Azilal region, attracting both locals and tourists alike. The cascades, which drop over 110 meters into the river below, create a breathtaking scene of lush greenery and roaring water. For locals, the vicinity of the waterfalls is a favorite weekend escape spot, and for tourists hoping to take in the splendor of Morocco's natural surroundings, it is a must-see.

The environs of Ouzoud are equally enthralling, offering a picturesque scene of verdant terraces, fruit trees, small villages, riverbank eateries, and lush meadows. The friendly Barbary monkeys that call the area home may come into view as you explore, bringing a bit of wildlife into your day. The seven waterfalls, expansive vistas, and calm atmosphere of Ouzoud provide the ideal fusion of peace and nature.

This Ouzoud Waterfalls and Imi N'Ifri Day Trip is the ideal way to get away from the bustle of Marrakech and see two of Morocco's most amazing natural sites.
