About this experience

Immerse yourself in the picturesque medina of the blue city (Chefchaouen). We'll enjoy strolling through its winding streets flanked by pretty blue houses. We'll enjoy the distinctive Arab-Andalusian architecture, narrow streets, marvelous fountains and you will take the best pictures of Morocco.

Afterwards, have a lunch at your own leisure. In the afternoon, you will take a break from the heat of the city and escape into Morocco's lush natural landscapes, enjoying a dip in the famous Akchour Waterfalls.
Once we are walking through the Kelaa river there will be be a jaw-dropping and stunning-beyond-words waterfall oasis of aqua green and turquoise water waiting at the end of the hike. Pictures don’t do it justice.

After a couple of hours enjoying the area our driver will be waiting to take us back to Tangier. We'll arrive back in the city after an unforgettable day of adventure.

This cascade is very handy. It keeps things cool and provides heaps of running water for the women of the town to come to the communal laundry to go the family wash. it provides an important source not just of H2O but social interaction for the women whose lives seem to be somewhat proscribed and cloistered. No need to make a special point of visiting it as you will just come across it while wandering around the hilly little town.

Constructed in the 15th century, Chefchaouen’s Grande Mosque was built on the orders of Moulay Mohamed Ben Ali Ben Rachid, the son of the city’s founder. It features an octagonal minaret, which is somewhat unusual when compared to the many square minarets that generally tower over the nation’s myriad mosques. The shape was influenced by Andalusian styles, brought to the country by Muslims from Spain. Built from stone, the shades of brown and beige are juxtaposed against the nearby blue and white buildings. Admiring the mosque is among the top things to do in the city.

From here you can enjoy a panoramic view of the whole city, and one of the best sunsets of Morocco.
