Talassemtane National Park, National park and UNESCO World Heritage Site candidate in Rif Mountains, Morocco

The protected area spans 589 square kilometers of Mediterranean landscapes with elevations ranging from 350 to 1050 meters above sea level.

The national park received its official designation in October 2004 to protect the remaining natural fir forests of northern Morocco.

The region houses Amazigh Rifian and Jebla tribes who maintain their distinct dialects and traditions within the park's surrounding communities.

Visitors can access the park through Chefchaouen, which serves as the main gateway and provides various hiking trails leading to waterfalls and natural formations.

The park contains Morocco's only native Spanish firs and hosts over 1380 plant species, including 47 varieties found exclusively in this country.
