About Taza National Park

Taza National Park, located in northeastern Algeria, is known for its diverse landscapes ranging from dense forests to coastal cliffs.

Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage

Taza National Park, situated in the strategic location between the Mediterranean Sea and Tell Atlas Mountains, offers a remarkable blend of ecosystems. Covering an area that stretches from the lush green forests dominated by cork oak to the rugged coastal cliffs overlooking the Mediterranean, it provides a refuge for a wide array of flora and fauna. Historically, the area has been a corridor for both human and animal migration, enriching its biodiversity and cultural significance. Key recreational opportunities include hiking through dense forests, bird watching, and exploring the untouched beaches. Notable landmarks include the Babor Mountains and the striking cliffs of Cap Couronnes. Visitors are drawn by the park's natural beauty and the chance to see rare species such as the Barbary macaque and the endangered Kabyle newt.
