If you love nature, the waterfalls will undoubtedly be the highlight of the tour. Many people take the opportunity to swim in the river, but you will doubtless suspect, the water is icy. The first of the waterfalls is easily accessible, while you will have to venture further to access the following ones. You will have to climb and climb to access some of the waterfalls, so we advise you to put on suitable shoes.
In theory, this is a visit to the heart of traditional Berber life in the mountain villages. Once there, you will realize that what you are sold as a typical life experience is really just a theatrical performance for tourists.
