170 kms from Marrakech lies Uzud waterfall. It is 110 m high and locals say it is the highest waterfall in the North Africa. How I – the waterfalls lover can miss it?
The minubus from the agency needs 3,5 hours to reach the place (they charge 20 euro for round trip). It is secondary road and they drive crazy so take care about your backbone. On the site they park some 100 m from the mouth of the waterfall on the little canyon rim. Wow! The maintenance is poor , limited barriers only, so be careful! But the view down is exciting. Then you will pass with the group guide (he charge 20 dirhams per person but no entry fee) the olive grove and poor, steep path will lead you down to the canyon for the reall great views – usually from the terraces of primitive restaurants. Wear strong shoes for this descent!
The path will lead to the little lake at the bottom of the fall, where rafts are waiting for the tourists (20 dirham short sail). Another great views from the lakeside! You will cross the stream and climb the solid steps up with funny monkeys on the next view points. Full loop took me almost 2 hours with many photo stops – but ir was absolutely worth the effort. This fall is nicer then I expected!
