Full Cape Camino - 38 days
More than a month on the route: this is the full Cape Camino
The Camino Spirit is a subjective experience of living and giving from the heart. It is felt, expressed and witnessed repeatedly from hosts and pilgrims alike. It is a recognition of inclusivity - of our diversity, not only of humanity but of our aspects of self. Bringing the whole of you, giving your all, to create a safe and comfortable passage for journeymen and women.
So too our Mother: Earth. She loans us her grape bearing soils, and golden wheat fields. She grants us her mountain slopes, rivers, sandveld, and beaches.
She gifts us the majestic Sacred Mountain, surrounded by deep, rich and abundant seas.
It would be a good idea to digest this feast in one sitting. To walk a month, immersing yourself in this Personal Pilgrimage!
