Itinerary description
|
Entering the Cape of Good Hope park takes time and patience. It is in fact a long road that leads from CapeTown to the cape and, like all parks, has an entrance fee.
You park at the bottom where the sign announces where you are in the midst of merrily grazing ostriches.
From here you climb quickly and for a short stretch to the first panoramic point, with a small exposed section. Magnificent panorama with the lighthouses as a frame.
from here you can go back to your car and drive up to the other panoramic point where all the services are (there is nothing in the car park below except for the sign).
Or, as I did, you go on foot, skirting the cliffs and enjoying beautiful views. This leads to the viewing platform and the first lighthouse.
My intention was to touch both lighthouses. Unfortunately I was forced to go back the same way, having left my backpack with all my belongings behind.
The journey is worth a lot and it is not tiring. Just a little attention for those who suffer from vertigo like Valentina. There are exposed stretches, kept safe but open
