The day trip to the Akchour Waterfalls and the Bridge of God is undoubtedly the most popular day trip to Talassemtane National Park from Chefchaouen.
Day Trip Details
At the appointed time, we’ll meet at the Poste-Maroc-Al Barid Bank post office, very close to the medina of Chefchaouen. Are you ready to visit the Akchour Waterfalls and the Bridge of God? Well, let’s go!
Once aboard a minibus, we’ll travel through the valleys and mountains of the Rif, taking in the rural landscape of northern Morocco until we reach Talassemtane National Park, one of the most breathtaking places in the country. Along the way, we’ll learn all sorts of interesting facts about the area’s rich biodiversity.
Before starting the hike, we’ll offer you two hiking routes; depending on the day’s conditions and the group’s fitness level, we’ll choose the most suitable one. In any case, you’ll embark on a hike that takes you deep into Morocco’s beautiful natural landscape, where we’ll pass by crystal-clear rivers, waterfalls that will leave you speechless, and unique rock formations.
The hike will first take us to the famous Akchour waterfalls, one of the park’s greatest treasures. We’ll watch the water plunge forcefully between rock walls and vegetation, listening to a sound you’ll never forget. Amid this natural spectacle, you’ll be able to enjoy a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear pools formed by the falls.
To recharge your batteries, we’ll give you some free time to eat in the heart of this setting. Don’t forget to bring your own picnic! If you prefer, you can buy something at one of the food stalls in the area.
With our appetites satisfied, we’ll continue walking to visit the impressive Bridge of God, a majestic arch-shaped rock formation that rises more than 30 meters high (98.5 ft) in the middle of the valley. Photo op! We’ll keep walking through unspoiled nature to return to the trailhead.
Finally, after a total of 3 to 3.5 hours of hiking, we’ll return by minibus to the meeting point in Chefchaouen, where the day trip will conclude 5 hours later.
