The panoramic road to Ourika is breathtaking! Along this mountainous route, you will catch sight of the majestic peaks of the Atlas Mountains and cross through authentic Berber villages nestled in several valleys, including Tafza, Aghbalou, and Oulmes. These stunning vistas and fascinating landscapes provide a wide array of picturesque views to admire.
After having a taste for adventure and exploration, we will stop at the vibrant, Berber village of Setti Fatma, nestled in a canyon under the High Atlas Mountains and renowned for its series of seven waterfalls.
