Depending on conditions and the day's itinerary, you may stroll through traditional villages, meet locals, and learn about the traditions, craftsmanship, and daily lives of the region's Berber communities.
Continue your exploration with a walk along the Ourika River, whose waters flow through the valley amidst spectacular mountain scenery. For travelers wishing to immerse themselves further in nature, a hike to the Setti Fatma waterfalls may be offered, subject to conditions and the group's fitness level.
After your exploration, sit down for a riverside lunch. Savor Moroccan specialties in a peaceful setting, soothed by the sound of the water and surrounded by mountains. It is the perfect opportunity to take a break, enjoy the scenery, and discover local flavors. In the afternoon, take the time to further explore the valley or relax by the water before heading back to Marrakech.
