After exploring the bazaars of Marrakech, you'll drive to the beautiful Cascades D'Ouzoud, a spectacular waterfall en route to the Eastern Atlas. Then, where the road ends, you'll enter an area seen by few outsiders the extraordinary Bougmez Valley. Travelling on foot and riding mules, you'll see stunning mountains and explore tiny villages. Enjoy mint tea with a local family and meet seminomads to learn about traditional life.

Is it right for your family?
This is a walking trip for adventurous families. Although the walking is not particularly hard (mules are available for children to ride), accommodation in the Bougmez area is in very simple, traditional Berber houses with few facilities. The rewards however, more than compensate for the simple conditions. In Marrakech we use a mid-range hotel.
