Itinerary description

Amazing route at the deepest and wildest nature in Cape of Good hope⛰️🏔️
Even if the weather didn't accompanied at the begging, it was worthy.
At the beginning I had a heavy rain and wind, however at the end of the trekking the sun was shining for me.

Difficult:mild
Be in shape to climb the hundreds of steps is a must

Until the center for visitors and funicular the route has no loss, the way is well marked with posters and paintings.
At this point leave the parking lot behind and facing the building try to look for the way on the right clift.

Be careful from the parking lot at the visitors center and forward. Only experienced hikers. Even if it's a small route and there are always points of reference to get orientated, the track is not always obvious to read and you can get lost
At the road I decided to go back to the bottom parking lot because it was getting late.
The sun was shining at the coastline

In this route I saw ostriches and waterbucks
Amazing day!
