Itinerary description
|
Spectacular and short tour to visit the famous and popular "Bourke's Luck Potholes", which are rock formations in the shape of "buckets" or "pots" formed by the erosion of the Blyde and Treur rivers. Also impressive are the two gorges formed by the two rivers that come together in a "T".
The place is unique, but it can be a bit overwhelming due to the number of people who visit it. On hot days it is very tempting to take a good bath in the transparent waters of the Treur River, before entering the deep gorge.
You have to access through a paid macroparking.
IMPORTANT NOTE: THE DIFFICULTY WITH WHICH I CATALOG MY ROUTES IS REFERRED TO MOUNTAINEERS USED TO WALKING, WHO WORK WITH EASY OVER ALL TERRAINS, NOT FOR OCCASIONAL HIKERS. IF YOU HAVE LITTLE EXPERIENCE, ADD ONE MORE DEGREE TO THE DIFFICULTY OF MY ROUTES SO YOU DON'T GET SURPRISES.
Notice: The routes described here, as well as the tracks for GPS, are merely indicative. The security measures of each itinerary are the responsibility of the person who carries them out, which will depend on the weather conditions and the physical and technical preparation of the person who carries them out. All the information available here is informative, exempting the authors from any responsibility for any mishap that could be suffered by anyone who voluntarily or induced makes the route.
