Getting there
20-minute grand taxi north from Tinghir along the N10 Route of a Thousand Kasbahs
Near the oasis city of Tinghir, the Todra River carves a sensational breach through the High Atlas limestone plateaus. At its narrowest point, the gorge contracts into a dramatic 10-meter gap framed by sheer vertical rock walls that rise three hundred meters above the crystal-clear riverbed, shifting from gold to fiery terracotta as sunlight penetrates the canyon floor.
Todra is a world-class destination for rock climbers and hikers alike. Footpaths wind up the canyon walls onto quiet high plateaus where semi-nomadic Berber shepherds graze flocks of goats. Downstream, the gorge opens into the lush Tinghir palmery, an intricate carpet of date palms, olive trees, and ancient earthen villages nourished by centuries-old irrigation channels.
