Only 15km from Tinghir, sheer cliffs 300m high rise up dramatically each side of the narrow corridor that forms the Todgha Gorges. This trench through the high Atlas Mountains presents an arresting spectacle, its gigantic rock walls changing color to magical effect as the day unfolds. The valley of Todgha flows through this great geological fault and on into the Tinghir palm groves. The best time of day to view the gorge is in the morning when the rays of the sun break through between the high cliffs on both sides.
