You step away from Chefchaouen’s painted alleys and the mountain smells change—fir and cedar press close, the air cool and resin-scented. A trail narrows between moss-slick rocks and a river that seems to dare you forward; on the third day it will loosen into a drop of water that falls into a jade pool, the Akchour waterfalls. This is a three-day circuit through Talassemtane National Park, where river-carved limestone, deep gorges and village terraces lay out a compact portrait of northern Morocco’s high country.

A guide is included and recommended for navigation, local context and safety on the steeper, less-marked sections.

The tour includes transfer back from Akchour to Chefchaouen by local taxi; confirm pickup details with the supplier.
The Rif Mountains are home to Amazigh (Berber) communities with centuries-old terrace farming and pastoral traditions; the area also saw influence during the Spanish protectorate era in the 20th century.
