Chefchaouen Travel Guides

Akchour sits about 45 minutes from Chefchaouen in a green Rif Mountains gorge, where river crossings and wet rocks shape every packing decision.

Here is how to build one compact pack for the trail and the natural pools.

Chefchaouen sits high in the Rif Mountains, so December here behaves like a mountain winter rather than a mild Moroccan one.

November in Chefchaouen is a layering month: mild, breezy days in the Rif give way to cool, damp evenings.
