Parc National Talassemtane, Taza-Al Hoceima-Taounate, Morocco
Talassemtane National Park is a national park in the Rif region of Northern Morocco. The 589.5-square-kilometre park was created in October 2004 to conserve the last of Morocco’s threatened fir forests.
There are numerous trekking opportunities of various durations in the vast 580-sq-km Talassemtane National Park, which begins just outside Chefchaouen. The name means ‘cold spring’ in Berber. Some popular destinations include the small villages of El Kelaâ and Akchour, and God’s Bridge, a natural formation that looks like a stone arch. The duration of these excursions depends on how much you wish to drive versus walk.
