The Rif Mountains, towards Morocco's northern coast, see a tiny sliver of the visitors flocking to Toubkal and the High Atlas.
The Talassemtane National Park Circuit is a scenic, 50km route through the heart of the Rif Mountains.
Beginning and ending in the picturesque blue city of Chefchaouen, this route allows trekkers to experience both the vibrant city life and the serene wilderness of Morocco. The journey takes you through dense forests, rushing streams, and steep hills.
Talassemtane is one of the last refuges of the endangered fir tree of Morocco. As you hike, watch out for Barbary macaques, a native monkey species, amongst the trees.
The journey incorporates a blend of wild camping and staying in localgîtes, which is a fantastic way to immerse yourself in the rural Moroccan lifestyle.
