Route

 

Cape Camino currently makes up a total distance of approximately 650 kms over 36 days.

​

The route begins in the Winelands of Wellington, Riebeek Kasteel and Tulbagh. Set nearby and alongside the Limietberge: rich soils, expansive valleys; nurseries to some of the finest wines in the world. Vineyards, olives, and Cape Dutch architecture!

 

The Berg River then provides life-giving water to a range of farming practices as well as the three Moravian communities all along the Piketberge. This is a unique and special section to explore. Four farmers on or near the river host the first four days from their farm homes - converted styles and other farm buildings. And two of the Moravian Church settlements are still home to communities of the church. The third has been sold and converted into a family homestead.

​

Aurora hosts the next section along this stretch and also acts as the gatekeeper to the third section - the harsh and beautiful Sandveld and Strand. Not for the faint-hearted, these long stretches provide passage over the hills and into Redelinghuys. From there the route heads to the coast, into Langebaan, Yzerfontein, Grotto Bay and farm stays near Darling.

​

Next comes The Cape Peninsula - 14 different sacred ways practiced, historical and architectural wealth. Social diversity. Culture and music and Cape Town vibes! And yet STILL with huge natural wildernesses: mountain tops, deep wild waters, beaches, forests, fynbos, birds, whales, dolphins, baboons.
