Recognized as Morocco’s highest waterfalls and those with the greatest flow, Ouzoud impresses with its unique configuration: the water crashes down from a height of 110 meters, bouncing across several tiers of red rock before reaching the lake below. Beyond the cinematic beauty of the landscape, the ranking highlights the experience offered to visitors, who can follow steep trails while coming across colonies of Barbary macaques accustomed to human presence, the DW network explains.

The achievement is particularly noteworthy, as the Moroccan site stands alongside natural monuments of global importance in this ranking. They include Victoria Falls (Zambia/Zimbabwe), considered the widest in the world, the famous Niagara Falls (USA/Canada), the vast Iguazú Falls (Brazil/Argentina), and Salto Ángel in Venezuela, which holds the height record at 979 meters.

Europe is also represented by the Rhine Falls in Switzerland, the Plitvice Lakes in Croatia, as well as Iceland’s Gullfoss and Seljalandsfoss. Ouzoud’s presence among these giants further strengthens its status as a must-visit destination for nature tourism in Morocco.
