Waterfalls Akchour

It's a beautiful hike. We did it in December early morning so, it was a bit cold but as we were leaving lots of local kids were already starting to swim. Make a stop here!

The journey to the Waterfalls of Akchour unfolds like a story, with each step revealing a new facet of Morocco's natural beauty. The verdant hills, adorned with wildflowers and aromatic herbs, create a sensory delight for those trekking through this hidden gem.

The diversity of the landscape, from rocky outcrops to dense forests, adds a sense of adventure to the hike. The local guides, often available, enhance the experience by sharing insights into the region's ecology and cultural significance. As you navigate the well-marked trails, occasional glimpses of wildlife and the melodious sounds of birds further enrich the journey.

For photography enthusiasts, Akchour offers an abundance of opportunities to capture the magnificence of the waterfalls against the backdrop of the rugged mountains. The play of sunlight filtering through the trees creates a magical atmosphere, especially during the early morning or late afternoon.

This natural haven is a testament to responsible tourism, with efforts made to preserve the area's ecological balance. As you depart, the sense of tranquility and connection with nature lingers, making the Waterfalls of Akchour an essential stop for anyone seeking a harmonious blend of adventure, culture, and natural splendor in Morocco's enchanting landscape.

Only managed to see the little waterfall, is a one hour trail walking distance. Easy path, It worth It 100%. The Big waterfall is located at 2:30 h trail, so we skip It .

I had an amazing experience walking up 45 minutes to the waterfall. The hike is rather easy can be done for all ages. You have great look of the waterfall and we even saw some group of local monkeys.

Absolutely stunning!!! I think this location is a can't miss on a trip to Chefchaouen, if you have access to a car it is a truly breathtaking oasis of paradise. The nature is all encompassing and the water is beautifully clear and is simply mesmerising.

This place was magical. I enjoyed every step of it. You can never get tired of how beautiful the mountains are. The view is so calming and so are the people there. If you are trying to go on a hike there, be careful and walk slowly. Make sure to soak your feet in freezing cold water when you reach the mountain so you can cool down. And don't forget to drink a cup of tea there. It tastes better after a long walk ✨it's like a reward ✨

Beautiful place for day out . Water is very clean and cold . You need to be strong enough to walk up all the stairs to have very nice view. Road is ok to get there not the best but driving between the GRASS fields make the road trip very enjoyable

By far exceeded my expectations. It was very green and peaceful. The water was so clear and so cold and refreshing especially on a hot summer day. There were people but it wasn’t really crowded.
I recommend that you go to the upper pools. The upper you go, the least people there are.
There are restaurants aling the ricer serving Tajin for good prices so you can have a perfect meal with a view.

Cool, small hike with local cuisine along the way, great way to relax while adventuring at the same time.

Such a beautiful place and unique experience! We took a taxi in which helped us get to the entrance instead of having to walk from far up the hill. (Obviously you'd need to coordinate being picked up as well.) There's a pay restroom you can change in. Many little restaurants all along the water. We stopped at the first little watering hole with tables because my kids were hot and exhausted but later when I walked further I thought there were more fun spots with little waterfalls that would have been even better.

Amazing river hike to natural arch! Easy hike and absolutely worth it.

Extremely great hike and walk in nature. Make sure to prep quite some snacks before as you might find all the cafes closed (especially during Ramadan!).

Amazing place close to Chefchaouen. The road to the park is quite decent, despite the serpentine.
Parking is convenient and safe.
A gorge, a mountain river, a cascade of waterfalls - peaceful nature, stunning views and many gigabytes of photos.
The paths around are good. No special footwear required. Be sure to stock up on sunscreen and water.
Climbing to the Eye of God is only for people with good sports training, as the path is narrow, with many steps of different heights. Plus it's quite far from the waterfalls.
I definitely recommend visiting!

Beautiful scenery, great hike but tiring in the heat. I really loved the place, not overflowing with tourists but there was a few. Freezing water! You have to swim and also walk/go behind the waterfall. Truly beautiful place and I wish to visit again.

This was just out of this world, words can't do justice on how breath-taking this place is. For anyone who gets the chance to visit please go and feast your soul/mind/heart on this amazing spot on earth.

wear comfortable shoes/trainers as it’s quiet a hike to reach till the waterfall point which is 2 hours hike from the main entrance gate. you can see many different types of waterfalls along the way, such a serene route with sound of the water trickling in the background.

Pleasant place, despite the too many food stalls

If you are in chefchouen or Tétouan, it's a must-go.
Plenty of water even though the dryness.
Unfortunately, the place is polluted by too much cafes, restaurants.
From chefchouen, go to the grand taxi place, near the bus station, it costs 25Dh per person to go

Akchour paradise is One of the best places to visit in Morocco you should visit it as if you are a tourist or a morocan .
Advices don't stop in the first Cafe you'll find go inside you'll find better prices and better view .
I had a really delicious tajine medium one the price was 80 dh I found out later when I got inside that the same tajine just 60 dh .
Overall it was one of the best experiences that I had.
P.s: go deep inside

Go early morning , amazing place ...food is ok ...avoid August ...you can hire a decent room next to water ...Great for hiking lovers .. Great for kids ...to get intouch with nature ..with a bit of swim
