Itinerary description
Primer contacto con Table Mountain en Ciudad del Cabo. Un lujo de entorno perfectamente integrado en la ciudad. El recorrido consistía en: saliendo del jardín botánico, llegar hasta el hotel. Así de básico es uno.
Recorrido aproximado: Kirstenbosch (jardín botánico)-Skeleton gorge-Smuts track-Maclear's Bacon-Cable car station-Platteklip Gorge-tafelberg exit-Deer Park-Capetowneo-Cresta Grande.
Algunos tips a tener en cuenta:
Buscar alternativas para no salir desde dentro del jardín botánico (te cobran por acceder al sendero).
La subida por Skeleton es demandante, pero es que la bajada por Plattenklip es la leche.
Si vas en verano, ponte mucha crema solar, gorro y prepárate. 40 ºC a la sombra es poco.

Approximate route: Kirstenbosch (botanical garden)-Skeleton gorge-Smuts track-Maclear's Bacon-Cable car station-Platteklip Gorge-tafelberg exit-Deer Park-Capetowning-Cresta Grande.
Some tips to bear in mind:
Look for alternatives to exit from inside the botanical garden (they charge you for access to the path).
The walk up Skeleton is demanding, but the walk down Plattenklip is a blast.
If you're going in summer, wear plenty of sunscreen, a hat and be prepared. 40ºC in the shade at least.
