Getting there
Located about 38 km from Chefchaouen, the trailhead at Akchour is reached in approximately 45 minutes by road.
Good to know
The hike to God's Bridge takes ~1.5 hours each way (~8 km round trip) over steady inclines and slippery rocks, while reaching the upper waterfalls adds 4 to 5 hours total round trip. The trail involves stepping-stone river crossings, rocky sections requiring hands-and-feet scrambling, and cliffside paths — moderate fitness and proper footwear are needed, not a casual stroll.
