Southern Morocco
Todgha Gorges
Towering, dramatic, and unforgettable. Walk between the sheer canyon walls of the Todgha Gorges, one of Morocco's most spectacular natural sights.About Todgha Gorges
Morocco's Most Dramatic Canyon
The Todgha Gorges are a narrow limestone canyon at the eastern end of the High Atlas, a short drive from the oasis town of Tinghir. Over thousands of years, the Todgha River has carved a passage through the mountains, leaving sheer rock walls that rise high above a path barely wide enough for a road and a stream.
Most journeys between Marrakesh and the Sahara stop here. Walk along the cool, shaded floor of the gorge, watch climbers on the cliffs, and look out over the palm groves and earthen villages of the Todgha valley on the way in.
