Fodor's Expert Review Talassemtane National Park

Established in 2004, the 145,000-acre Talassemtane National Park is a beautiful 45-minute drive from Chefchaouen. Its Mediterranean ecosystem hosts a unique variety of Moroccan pine as well as more than 239 plant species, many of which are endangered, such as the black pine and the Atlas cedar. The numerous hiking options include the popular hike to the Akchour Waterfall and God's Bridge.  It's recommended to use a guide on longer hikes.
