   Cascades d'Akchour

   2 hours

   Experience the beauty of Akchour, a hidden natural gem in the heart of Morocco’s Rif Mountains. Surrounded by mountain scenery and lush landscapes, follow your local guide on an approximately 45-minute hike along scenic trails to reach the small waterfalls and crystal-clear natural pools. Enjoy time by the water to relax, take photos, explore the surroundings, and swim in the natural pools when conditions allow.

   Akchour

   1 hour

   After your Akchour adventure, enjoy a hands-on Moroccan cooking experience in a peaceful natural setting. Learn how to prepare your own traditional Moroccan tajine using fresh local ingredients, with guidance from locals. Discover the traditional preparation process before your tajine is slow-cooked over a wood fire. Then sit down, relax, and enjoy the meal you helped prepare surrounded by the beautiful Rif Mountains. This separation is much better for Viator because Akchour = nature/adventure and Tajine = hands-on cultural/food experience.
