About Talassemtane National Park

Talassemtane National Park
 

Talassemtane National Park, located in the Rif Mountains of northern Morocco, spans a diverse and dramatic landscape, featuring limestone peaks, deep gorges, and verdant forests. The park covers an area of approximately 148,000 acres and is a haven for some of the country's most endangered flora and fauna, including the Barbary macaque, which roams freely in its woodlands. Established in 2004, the park plays a crucial role in protecting the rich biodiversity and endemic species of the region. Key activities in Talassemtane include hiking through its scenic trails, visiting the famous waterfall of Akchour, and exploring the picturesque landscapes that stretch from lush valleys to rocky cliffs. The park's unique geological formations, combined with its cultural heritage reflected in local Amazigh communities, make it a compelling destination for ecotourism.
