Morocco is known for its vibrant cities, vast deserts and rich history, but nestled in the Atlas Mountains lies an often overlooked natural wonder: the Ouzoud Falls. Standing at more than 100 metres high, these magnificent waterfalls are some of the highest and most impressive in North Africa. Whether you’re looking for adventure, love nature or just want to relax, there’s something magical about the Cascadas Ouzoud.
Ouzoud Waterfalls is located in the small village of Tanaghmeilen, about 150 kilometers northeast of Marrakech, making it an easily accessible day trip from the city. The falls are part of the Azilal region in the Middle Atlas Mountains, a quiet and picturesque area that contrasts with the bustling souks and medinas of Moroccan cities. For those coming from Marrakech, the journey by car or coach takes between two and three hours and passes through picturesque landscapes of olive groves and rustic Berber villages.
When you arrive at Ouzoud Waterfalls, the first thing that hits you is the thunderous roar of water cascading down the multi-tiered cliffs into the pools below. The waterfall is surrounded by lush greenery, olive trees and a variety of plants, creating a scene straight out of a nature documentary. In spring and early summer, the waterfall is especially full and the surrounding vegetation is greener.
There’s more to Cascadas Ouzoud than just admiring the view. Here are a few activities that will make your visit even more memorable:

Hiking Trails Around the Waterfall
Boat Rides at the Base of the Falls
