Chefchaouen, the “Blue City,” is one of Morocco’s most photographed destinations. Perched at an altitude of 600 meters in the Rif Mountains, it enchants visitors with its blue-and-white-painted alleyways, its souks selling Berber handicrafts, and its hiking trails in Talassemtane National Park.

Chefchaouen: ATV tours and hiking in the Blue City of the Rif

Beyond its iconic narrow streets, Chefchaouen is an ideal base for outdoor enthusiasts in the Moroccan Rif, with ATV tours through the cedar forests and along the mountain ridges offering 360° panoramic views of the mountains and the Mediterranean coast in good weather (book your ATV tour in Chefchaouen online, with quick confirmation: tours ranging from 1 hour to a full day with a guide).

Hiking is the other major activity in Chefchaouen. The trail leading to the Akchour Waterfall (a 4-hour round trip) is the most popular, but local guides offer multi-day treks in Talassemtane National Park, designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.

Chefchaouen is a 2-hour drive from M'diq, making it an ideal day trip from the coast. Travel agencies in the region regularly organize combination tours: a morning at the beach in M'diq, followed by an afternoon visit to Chefchaouen.
