From Agadir: Atlas Mountains and Wintimdouine Day Trip

Discover stunning Atlas Mountains landscapes on your way from Agadir to the Wintimdouine Basin. Enjoy a short hike to this unique location and swim in water that is fed by a network of subterranean lakes.
Start with pickup from your accommodation in Agadir and relax in an air-conditioned vehicle. See how in more ways than one, the Wintimdouine basin is a unique location. It is fed by water that originates from a network of subterranean lakes some twenty kilometers long, and it is located in the Atlas Mountains at a height of 1,600 meters. The views from this exceptional vantage point, as well as the tranquility of the location, are well worth the journey.

The Wintimdouine site is accessible by the historic Agadir-Marrakech route, which still exists beside the motorway that currently connects the seaside city to the Ocher City. It weaves its way through gorges, undulating valleys, and precipices, with numerous bends across an 8-kilometer stretch.

Enjoy the beauty and variety of the surroundings before parking the car in a tiny parking lot approximately a kilometer away from the basin. Walk to the basin by following the trail carved into the rock, which is off-limits to cars. This 15-minute stroll allows you to appreciate the beauty of the area.

“Wintimdouine” translates to “the cave of the lakes” in Berber. The water that emerges from it runs via a tiny channel into a quadrilateral that has been set out in the open. Even in July, when the sun beams on the Atlas‘ south face, the temperature does not surpass 25 to 30 degrees Celsius due to the altitude.

The basin has been washed of all pollutants, you can swim there comfortably. Two and a half meters is the maximum depth. This wonderful location, which is not included in tourist guides, is not yet well-known enough to be overrun by people. It has a good probability of remaining uncrowded for a while, so make the most of this slice of heaven.

Return to your accommodation in Agadir at the end of your adventure with incredible memories.
