Fairly nice hike up there, with some good views of the gorge. In summer (we went in June) the water coming down from the waterfall seems to be minimal. The track itself is quite easy to find so I would not recommend a guide. However, you may want to follow some app such as Komoot to make finding the right track a bit easier.

Amazing nature and a way full of adventure. We we're here in Summer and we swan in lakes. Food in bistros are delicious and for great price. People in Chauen are very kind.

Great hiking in beautiful nature. I hiked along the river bed to the base of God's Bridge then returned to the junction and hiked up another few gorges to the main waterfall. The path is good a bit slippery with loose gravel in places. The bird song is nice and I saw monkeys and nice wild flowers. There are plenty of places to swim. The views are great, the main waterfall had very little water but it was nice to get there. Both walks took me approx 5 hours in total. The car park is good and cost me 15md for the day. Highly recommend 👌

We were on this National Park to admire nature. Here, passing restaurant/snacks, it is possible to connect with the elements sorounding: the water so closeby, the animals doing their thing, the colours of the vast mountains, the trees and shrubs. It's really beautiful and worth. We were lucky to go on a december sunny morning and have a calm walk all the way. Not to be missed.

We did the trail to the small and larger cascades in early december on a sunny mid-morning, leaving Chefchaouen at 10h30. It was fantástic! The trail os not really entirely marked but it's easy to find, with the help of local restaurant/café keepers. The nature is beautiful: Animals, trees and shrubs, singing birds, the water all along and the amazing colours of the tall mountains. Make sure to bring appropriate shoes.
