Distance & Duration: Approximately 70 km covered over 3 days. Difficulty: Includes climbs to heights of roughly 1,400 m above sea level, offering 360-degree views of the valley. Terrain: The route primarily follows dirt roads and farm tracks through world-famous citrus orchards, indigenous veld, and mountainous terrain. Booking is essential.
