To get a personal look at Berber culture, take a full-day trip from Marrakech to the Ouzoud Waterfalls. Travel around 93 miles (150 kilometers) north from your hotel or riad to Ouzoud, which is home to one of North Africa’s most exquisite waterfalls. The falls, which plunge 110 meters (360 feet) to a pool below, are breathtakingly visible from the settlement.

Take a native guide-led tour of the area, visit an argan oil cooperative, and stroll through olive trees to learn more about Berber culture. While strolling the trails and admiring the stunning environment, have some fresh orange juice. Take a classic boat ride on the pool under the falls for an other perspective. Enjoy a leisurely Berber lunch at a neighboring eatery with a stunning view to cap off the day.

As you start your journey back to Marrakech in the peaceful afternoon, ascend a set of stairs and bid the valley farewell.
