About this activity
The Ourika valley is one of the best preserved in Morocco. It is a flagship destination for those who want to taste the geography of the Atlas. Dotted with Berber tribes, the Ourika takes you from bend to bend, in an authentic and green walk. Staying in Marrakech without visiting the Ourika valley would simply be a shame. When you set out to conquer the Ourika valley, it is impossible to resist the charm of the region, as the ecosystem is so preserved. It is often difficult to imagine that we are only 40 km from the bustling city of Marrakech. The Ourika valley is characterized above all by a green environment where the river from which it takes its name meanders sometimes lazily, sometimes briskly depending on the intensity of the slopes of the High Atlas. A trail very popular with tourists allows you to discover a series of seven waterfalls.
