Description
A 2½ hour drive takes you south through the beautiful Ourika Valley to the Berber mountain villages, where you will meet your guide and muleteer. You start an easy hike of some 4 hours up a hillside path to the hamlet of Anins and through the col, descending to the Aghbalou Cascade, where you shall stop for your picnic overlooking this refreshing waterfall.
After your picnic, you will walk across the Assif Ourika to rejoin your vehicle to take you to the riverside hamlet of Setti Fadma, known for its shady groves of ancient walnut trees and apple orchards in the backdrop of the High Atlas Mountains.
Return to Marrakech by around 7 in the evening.
