2 days trekking from Chefchaouen to Akchour

Overview

Day by day itinerary

1. 1Chefchaouen - Tissouka- Afeska⌄

   we can pick you up from any hotel in chefchaouen

   Even your hotel inside the tricky Medina we can pick you up from there

   The central square of Chefchaouen is full of restaurants at a good price for lunch or dinner. It is a fairly large square where there is plenty of life. In this square is the Kasbah (fortress) and the first mosque of the city.

   Small and quiet, the Chefchaouen Cemetery points to the remnants of a once vibrant culture. Visitors may notice that many of the tombs have inscriptions written in Arabic

   The kasbah is a heavily restored walled fortress that now contains a lovely garden, a small ethnographic museum, and an even smaller art gallery. The ethnographic museum contains some fascinating views of old Chefchaouen, including the plaza and the kasbah; the gallery promotes the work of local artists. The views from the kasbah tower over the medina are a delight.

   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. Do note that non-Muslim visitors are not permitted to enter the mosque.

   This is going to be our Km 0 of the trek

2. 2Afeska - Bridge of God - Akchour⌄

   We will visit and stop by the famous bridge of God of Akchour.

   There are a number of geological formations to enjoy on your way to the bridge and even the rolling countryside to take photos of. You will reach God’s Bridge during the day, but you will want to stay for sunset. The bridge is a red rock formation which shines best during the setting sun.
