Trekking opportunities of Trans-Maghreb

Todra Gorge
The Todra Gorge is a spectacular canyon of the Todra River in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains in eastern Morocco. The cliffs rise vertically up to 300 metres leaving a narrow pass for the river and a track to walk through the chasm. Trekking through the canyon in the morning you can follow the local Berber women taking their goat herds to higher ground for grazing. Following them to the Abdelali viewpoint will give you spectacular vistas down into the gorge and across to the Jebel Sahro mountain range and the Dades Valley. Keep an eye out for the rare Bonelli’s Eagle that nest in the cliffs.
