Chefchaouen

The blue city of the Rif Mountains

A small town painted in every shade of blue, tucked into the green Rif Mountains, with waterfalls and hiking trails nearby.

Why Chefchaouen

Morocco at a slower pace

Founded in 1471, Chefchaouen is small enough to cross on foot in twenty minutes and pretty enough to take all day. Its lanes are washed in blue, cats sleep on the steps, and the mountains rise straight up behind the kasbah.

It is the place to slow down. Our Chefchaouen guides will show you the corners of the medina that stay quiet, the spring where locals fill their bottles, and the trails into the Rif that most visitors never take.
