Day 1
Arrival into Tangier Port Terminal
You are collected by your driver and private transport for your transfer to Chefchaouen. Your journey takes you through the impressive Rif mountains with their high peaks, deep valleys and heavily forested slopes (of cedar, cork, oak, pine). The high peak is Mount Tidirhine at 2,456m and it is usually snow-capped in winter. There is rich, productive farmland to be seen too on the lower slopes with many traditional villages that blend “organically” into the landscape. Overnight in Chefchaouen

Day 2
In Chefchaouen
This small city is totally charming. Nestling as it does in the Rif mountains, its name is apt, meaning, “peaks”; they are all around this hillside settlement. Chefchaouen is an ideal place in which to simply relax and wander, taking in the wonderful ambiance of the place. Many of the buildings have been painted white and blue giving the town a magical, enchanting air. Chefchaouen’s medina area has many charming narrow passageways, where blue paint dominates. It is an exotic place in which to happily lose some time (and perhaps lose yourself, temporarily!). Place Outa el Hammam is the main square and it has a 15th-century kasbah fortress (with dungeon) and the Chefchouen Ethnographic Museum. The octagonal minaret of the Great Mosque can be seen from here. In this main square area are many cafes and restaurants. Ras el ma spring, the town’s river source, can also be visited on foot within the settlement. Of course, there are many retail outlets in the medina offering souvenirs e.g. leather and woolen goods. There is no need for a Guide on this day. Exploring and encountering on your own is an ideal way to pass many very pleasant hours here. Overnight in Chefcahouen
