2-Day Trip to Chefchaouen with Akchour Waterfalls and Bridge of God Hike

Overview


A short trip, but full of feeling. Chefchaouen is more than just blue walls,  it’s quiet mornings, kind faces, and slow walks through narrow streets that feel like they were painted with care. We visited all the must-see landmarks in the medina and watched the sunset from the Spanish Mosque, feeling time stretch in the most peaceful way.

The night in a traditional riad was simple and warm. After dinner, a walk under the stars made the city feel even more surreal - still, glowing, and safe.

The next day took us deep into the green hills of Akchour. The hike was just the right kind of challenge, with rivers, rocks, and forest guiding the way to the Bridge of God. Sometimes the quiet and the air around you reveal how much tension you didn’t even notice. Moving your body opens the way, but it’s the pause afterward that resets everything.

Full Description


Day 1:  24 Hours in a City Painted with Peace

Route: Casablanca→ Chefchaoun 

Total drive time: 5 Hours  (with scenic stops)

 

►  First Stop At: Plaza Uta el-Hammam
An 18th-century public fountain near the Nejjarine Museum, historically essential for locals. Its traditional Moroccan design is a beautiful introduction to Fez’s rich heritage.

 

►  Grand Mosque of Chefchaouen 

Built in the 15th century by Moulay Mohammed, son of the town’s founder, this mosque stands out for its unusual octagonal minaret. Non-Muslims can’t enter, but the exterior is a beautiful example of Andalusian-Moroccan architecture.

 

►  Ras El Ma waterfall

Just a short walk from the medina, this natural spring is where mountain water flows into the town. Locals come here to wash clothes and cool off. The sound of water and fresh air offer a peaceful break.

 

►  Spanish Mosque Viewpoint

Built by the Spanish in the 1920s but never used for worship, this hilltop mosque offers panoramic views of Chefchaouen. The 20-minute walk is worth it for sunset over the blue city and surrounding valleys.

 

►  Night Walk in Chefchaouen

In the evening, Chefchaouen transforms. The blue walls glow under the soft lights, and the medina becomes quieter and more magical. It’s a great time for peaceful exploration and night photography.
