Akchour Waterfalls Trail
From the road end at Akchour a path follows the Oued Kelaa upstream into Talassemtane National Park, passing riverside cafes and pools to the Petite Cascade and then on through the limestone gorge to the Grande Cascade. It shares its start with the walk to God's Bridge, and the two are often combined into a full day.
