Ride from Marrakech into the Atlas foothills, visit a Berber home and women’s argan oil cooperative, then hike with a local guide to Setti Fatma’s waterfalls. Expect a moderate, rocky walk, a riverside lunch if selected, and guides such as Amine, Wissal, Belhadj, or Lahcen. Shared groups are social, while private tours allow more time for photos.

“We had an amazing day. Amine was our private guide. From start to finish it was a fabulous day, with incredible views and experiences. He was very knowledgeable and told us about the Berber heritage. The Argon Oil cooperative was fabulous. Our guide up to the waterfall was great and didn’t rush us at all. The views were stunning. Lunch down by the river was just perfect. All in all a great day. I would highly recommend. Personally for us it was worth paying a little more to have a private tour, rather than a larger group as it meant we were able to take time, taking photos etc. Thank…”

Leave Marrakech for the Ourika Valley with hotel pickup, a scenic drive, Berber village visit, argan oil cooperative, and a guided hike to Setti Fatma waterfalls. Guides such as Hiba, Abdul, and Abderrahim help with the rocky trail, while a three-course Berber lunch is served beside the river.

“The hike for the beautiful view of the waterfall is totally worth it. Absolutely loved it! the food was a 3 course too: starter (mainly salads), main and dessert. Water comes with it but you have to pay for any fizzy drinks (which was cheaper than most places surprisingly). And ofc our tour guide, Abdul. Kind, knows alot about the area (since he lives in the village right below) and climbs up and down the rocks like a pro ✊🏿🤧 as he should frfr. Also shout out to our driver Razza. driving so smooth, knocked all of us out.”
