Into the Atlas: villages, trails and waterfalls

Berber villages, walnut groves and the cascades of Ouzoud, all within reach of Marrakech.

Mountain life

The High Atlas is home to Amazigh (Berber) villages where life follows the seasons. Walking with a local guide opens doors — and kitchens — you would never find alone.

Ouzoud

The Ouzoud falls are among the most impressive in North Africa. Go early to enjoy them before the crowds, and wear shoes with good grip.
