About The Crater Camino

The Crater Camino is a 5-day slackpacking journey through the Vredefort Dome, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Inspired by the Camino de Santiago, this approximately 80 km route winds through bushveld trails, wild olive forests, and historic sites. Distance & Pace: The trail covers ±80 km over 5 days, averaging 15–20 km per day. The journey starts at Stonehenge River Lodge near Parys. Terrain: Diverse landscapes including rolling bushveld hills, rocky paths, riverbanks, and some of the highest viewpoints in the Dome. Historical & Natural Sites: Walkers encounter Boer War trenches, a miniature church, the world's largest wild olive forest (Southern Hemisphere), and unique geological features from the 2-billion-year-old impact. https://parysinfoandtourism.co.za/parys-crater-camino/
