Cascades d'Akchour

About

The Cascades d'Akchour aren’t just one or two waterfalls, but an entire valley of cascades and swimming holes. The hike brings you through a deep gorge filled with lush greenery and pools of blue water. Along the way, numerous smaller cascades feed into swimming holes where you can take a dip to cool off. Venturing along the river, higher into the mountains, you eventually reach the final, tallest fall which pours over a mossy rock face into a cold pool of water. In the valley you’ll also find some local restaurants, so after you’ve built up an appetite you can stop for some tajine. Please note: appropriate footwear is required, and this hike isn’t recommended for people with mobility issues.
