Overall worth the hike. Although we were not sure if this would lead us to the viewpoint since there was nobody walking this trail. From the parking area, you walk upwards and follow the trail. When you reach the end of navigation, you have to walk past the houses and farm to continue a smaller path and around the mountain. The view was mesmerizing and very peaceful. On the way back you’ll see a purple house and blue houses. Follow that path and down to another trail down to the canyons where all the cafes and people are swimming.
There are two routes; one that follows the river (all the cafes are situated along this path) and one that goes up so you can actually cross God’s bridge at the top. The path to the top is quite narrow and steep so come prepared. Takes you 30 to 45 minutes with a good condition to reach the top. Then head back all the way and take the route along the river so you can have a meal, something refreshing to drink and take a dive in the cold waters below God’s Bridge!
God's Canyon Bridge, also known as the Akchour Bridge, is a stunning natural attraction located in the Akchour region of Morocco, near Chefchaouen. It's famous for its picturesque views and dramatic scenery, including a stunning gorge and lush greenery. The bridge itself is a popular spot for hikers and nature lovers. Visitors can enjoy a range of outdoor activities, such as hiking, swimming in natural pools, and exploring nearby waterfalls. The trail leading to the bridge offers breathtaking vistas, making it a favorite for photographers.
I rarely review places but I want to throw this out there so that you don’t show up like me thinking you’re about to be one with nature. I arrived on a Monday in August and there were probably 10,000 people there. Yes, it’s beautiful so it’s not like I blame them but don’t go thinking this is some secret gem hidden in the mountains. I saw more tourists here than in Chefchaoen. Is August 4th a day dedicated to swimming?! Or is it always this crowded in summer? Go for the beauty but be prepared to walk the trail in a single file line like you’re at an amusement park! Also, there was a creepy guy hanging out at the Gods Bridge. He may live there and he gave serious troll vibes. If you’re into fairy tales and a little bit of woodsy eeriness, you’re in for a treat!
The hike to get to the base of the natural arch is along the stream and you will get wet. There are a few short foot bridges but there are also a couple of technical sections where you need to be able to scramble on rock along deep sections of water particularly in spring when the water level is high. Views are incredible and water is crystal clear.
