Drive south from Marrakech into the High Atlas foothills, about an hour away. A river runs through terraced fields and red-earth villages, with viewpoints along the road. On Mondays, the Tnine Ourika market fills with local produce and crafts.
BREAKFAST
From Setti Fatma, hike along the river to a series of seven waterfalls. The walk to the first fall takes about 30 to 45 minutes over rocks and wooden bridges. Wear sturdy shoes, as the route can be slippery.
Visit a family in a traditional Berber village, in a home built of clay and stone with terraces over the fields. Your hosts serve mint tea with bread, olive oil and honey and explain how they farm and cook in the mountains.
Have lunch at a riverside terrace in Setti Fatma, with tagine or grilled meat served right above the water. The shade and cool air make it a relaxed break before the return drive to Marrakech.
Return to Marrakech (no overnight)
LUNCH
“A great escape from the city. The hike to the waterfalls was easy with our guide, and lunch by the river was relaxing. The air was fresh, the views were lovely and the whole day was perfectly paced.”

“Tea with a local family in their village was the best moment of our trip. They welcomed us warmly, explained how they live and shared homemade bread and honey. The guide translated and made us feel comfortable.”

“Easy, beautiful and well organized. We were back in Marrakech before evening, with plenty of time for dinner. The vehicle was clean, the driver was careful on the mountain road and the guide gave helpful advice for the hike.”
