Follow the river into Talassemtane National Park to turquoise pools, waterfalls and a giant natural stone arch.
About an hour from Chefchaouen, the Akchour valley is a different Morocco: green, cool and full of running water. We follow the river trail up to the waterfalls, stopping at pools where you can swim in summer.
On the way back we take the path to God's Bridge, a natural stone arch high above the river, and stop for a simple lunch at a riverside cafe.
About an hour through the Rif Mountains.
Follow the river trail up the valley.
Hike to the natural arch above the river.
Riverside lunch, then back to Chefchaouen.
