Cango caves

One of the really popular day outings from Sea Paradise is a trip to the Cango caves.
The drive is scenic as it crosses the Outeniqua Mts and meanders through the semi-desert of the Klein Karoo.

Driving just 70 km away from here and over the Outeniqua mountains lies Oudtshoorn, a charming Karoo town with many beautiful Victorian sandstone buildings.

Another 20 km further outside Oudtshoorn and you arrive at the Cango caves.

Before going in to see the caves, it is well worth seeing the video, mainly because there is footage of the recently discovered extensions of Cango; and it takes one`s breath away to see the brilliantly sparkling interiors fit for a king, like zillions of diamonds all round.

But mostly the caves are a wonderland journey. Enough said!

At the end of the day, its lovely to leave the heat of the Karoo and arrive back in Wilderness overlooking the ocean in time for a swim or sunset.
