Ouzoud Waterfalls

Went on a day trip to the Ouzoud Waterfalls, in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, what a location! There are a few boats that take tourist right up to the waterfall! It was really hot this day but so cool and refreshing next to the falls!
It was a long trip, around 3 hours from Marrakech (with a short loo break) but well worth it!
There are a couple of restaurants there and you can have lunch while watching the waterfall, truly amazing.
There are also Macaque monkeys in the valley and they are so used to people that they will climb on your shoulder and eat out of your hand!
Here are some videos I took at the waterfall :)

Excerpt from Wikipedia:
Ouzoud Waterfalls (Amazigh: Imuzzar n wuẓuḍ, French: Cascades d'Ouzoud) (110 m high) are located near the Moyen Atlas village of Tanaghmeilt, in the province of Azilal, 150 km northeast of Marrakech, in Morocco.

Ouzoud means "the act of grinding grain" in Berber. This seems to be confirmed by the frequent mills in the region.[1]

The bottom of the falls is accessible through a shaded path of olive trees. At the summit of the falls, there are a dozen old small mills that are still in use. One can also follow a narrow and difficult track leading to the road of Beni Mellal. While descending the gorges from the "wadi el-Abid" in a canyon sometimes one does not distinguish the bottom which is nearly 600 metres down.

It is the most visited site of the region. In the vicinity, green valleys, mills, orchards and a superb circuit of the gorges of the El Abid River (in Arabic, "Slaves' River" ) are found. Many local and national associations lead projects to protect and preserve the site.
