Paradise Valley

Paradise Valley is a smal Valley with lots of palms and waterfalls. It's a wonderful nature down there and some people say, the name comes from Jimy Hendrix who spent his time there in the 60s and called it a "Paradise Valley" (on the other hands, Moroccans tell a lot of stories about special places so I'm not quite sure if this is true... ;)) Anyway, this place definitely IS a little paradise. Sometimes it's very crowded and if you wanna go there you should pay a taxidriver for coming to pick you up after your trip or rent a car or something. Waiting for a taxi - which is usually the best and easiest way in Morocco- isn't the best idea in this area: we had to wait 4 hours with wet hair and no pullovers and got a nice little cold. 

How to get there: You can take a taxi from Banana Village, which is between Agadir and Taghazout/Essouira or rent a car. You could also ask a Moroccan, if he knows someone who could guide you. This can be the best way (depends, who guides you.). We did it once with a guide (more a friend of us than a guide) and it was great, he showed us much more beautiful places, which were far away and without tourists (but us...) and of course we had someone who drove us there and back. We paid him 100 dh per person (5 people) which is 10 Euro for driving from Taghazout and back & a little guided tour. I heard about people who payed 400 dh per person or more so I think it was okay. A taxi is cheaper but, as I said, it's better to have someone who is bringing you back home if you don't want to rent your own scooter/car.
