The Todra Gorge, carved by the Todra River near Tinghir, Morocco, is a dramatic natural wonder highly accessible by car or taxi, with its main paved road suitable for most visitors; however, extended hiking requires appropriate footwear and can be challenging beyond the main thoroughfare. While the accessible parts of the gorge can be explored independently, a local guide is highly recommended for deeper treks into the canyons, challenging rock climbing, or for cultural insights into local Berber communities. The best times to visit are spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November) for mild temperatures, as summers can be extremely hot and winters are cool with occasional rain, though generally still accessible. Entrance to the gorge itself is typically free, with costs primarily for transportation (e.g., taxi from Tinghir around 50-100 MAD one-way, guide fees 200-500 MAD for a half-day) and accommodation; a typical visit can range from 1-2 hours for a quick stop to a full day for extensive hiking and exploration of this stunning canyon, popular for its towering walls and photography opportunities.
