Talassemtane National Park
المنتزه الوطني تلاسمطان
A national park in the Rif Mountains, home to Morocco's endemic fir forests and limestone peaks, with multi-day trekking routes through Berber mountain villages.
Talassemtane National Park was established in 2004 and covers about 580 square kilometers. Its most notable features are the endangered Moroccan fir forests and Barbary macaques. Classic routes include a 2–3 day trek from Chefchaouen over a mountain pass to Akchour, and the ascent of Jbel Lakraa (about 2,159 m). Trail markings are scarce in the mountains, so hire a local guide in Chefchaouen and stay in village guesthouses. The coordinates given are approximate, for the park's center.
