Waterfalls and the God's Bridge in the mountains.
Address: Akchour, Talassemtane National Park (near Chefchaouen)
Akchour lies in the Talassemtane National Park, in the limestone mountains of the Rif. The Farda river has cut a deep gorge here, with emerald pools and waterfalls.
The park protects forests of cedar and the rare Moroccan fir, and is home to Barbary macaques. The natural rock arch known as God's Bridge (Pont de Dieu) spans the river.
May to October for swimming; spring for full waterfalls.
Start early to avoid heat and crowds.
Avoid after heavy rain because of slippery paths.
