Where is Akchour in Morocco?

Morocco is a beautiful destination with a wide variety of landscapes. Like many new visitors, I too thought the land was a vast arid desert dotted with sand dunes. Moreover, I assumed that Marrakesh was the only exciting city to visit. But I was wrong. The kingdom of Morocco has a lot to offer every traveler.

Northern Morocco is full of lush forests and mountains. In autumn, the Rif Mountains come alive with landscapes of rushing rivers and beautiful waterfalls.

One of the most breathtaking waterfalls in the country is the Akchour Falls, which are located in the Rif Mountains. Unlike the famous Ouzoud Falls near Marrakesh, Akchour Falls are relatively quiet and less crowded, making it an ideal destination for travelers seeking tranquility amidst natural beauty.

Akchour is a small town in the north of Morocco, in the Chefchaouen province. It is located about 30 kilometers southeast of the city of Chefchaouen, a popular tourist destination known for its blue-painted buildings and picturesque streets. Located in the Rif Mountains, Akchour is known for its natural beauty, including the Akchour Falls and the God's Bridge, a natural rock formation that spans the El-Abid River. Many visitors come to Akchour to hike, swim and enjoy the picturesque landscapes in an oasis of calm.
