The path begins with the river’s voice — a low, constant insistence that seems to push your boots forward. On this small-group day tour from Chefchaouen, hikers follow the Oued el-Kebir as it chisels the Rif Mountains, crossing sun-dappled boulders and stepping onto narrow trails where the river dares you to come closer. After a short drive north from the blue alleys of Chefchaouen, the air sharpens; limestone cliffs rise and the landscape takes on a harsher, more sculpted character. God's Bridge appears almost suddenly: a natural limestone arch spanning a cropped gorge, its underside hollowed by years of rushing water.
