The Ourika Valley (1 hour and 45 minutes from Marrakech by car) is famous for its waterfalls, which are especially refreshing during the warm season (the people of Marrakech know this well!). We offer you a unique and slightly sporty way to explore them: dressed in a wetsuit and equipped with a harness and ropes (all equipment meets European standards, as do our instructors' certifications), you will descend the Tazitounte canyon. Few outdoor activities are as varied as canyoning in Morocco: you will navigate the riverbed, passing by waterfalls, natural pools, lush vegetation, and breathtaking landscapes. On the agenda: walking through water, abseiling down waterfalls, and refreshing swims, all under the safe guidance of your instructor.
No experience or exceptional physical fitness is needed to enjoy the experience and the little taste of adventure it offers: the route is accessible to everyone. After approximately 2 hours of descent, you will settle down by the banks of the Ourika river for a well-deserved picnic with your feet in the water (or almost!). Far from the crowds, enjoy a peaceful moment to the gentle sound of flowing water (children can take the opportunity to swim), before heading back to Marrakech. For those who wish to enrich this easy circuit, it is possible to add a pottery workshop or a visit to the Anima garden as an optional extra. Simply mention it when making your reservation request.
For the more adventurous among you (adults only), a second canyoning route is available, allowing for the descent of the 7 waterfalls of the Ourika. In this case, plan for about 3 to 4 hours of canyoning and a good dose of adrenaline!
