Cape Camino

Overview

Route 12: Country Route

Route 12 includes all Cape Camino country routes, connecting the inland and West Coast sections of the Western Cape into one extended rural pilgrimage experience. This combined walking journey links the Riebeek Valley, Tulbagh and Golden Fields, Sandveld, Wild West Coast and West Coast Village routes, excluding the urban Cape Town Peninsula section. Distances vary depending on the selected stages, with daily walking ranges typically between 14km and 26km across farm roads, gravel tracks, sandy coastal stretches and open veld landscapes.

The All Country Routes Camino offers a comprehensive rural walking experience through vineyards, agricultural plains, fishing villages, remote mountain foothills and Atlantic coastline. Accommodation is pre-arranged with local farm hosts, guesthouses and village homestays, creating a supported and community-connected pilgrimage across multiple regions of the Western Cape. This route is suited to walkers seeking a long-distance countryside Camino that combines agricultural heritage, coastal scenery and small-town hospitality, and can be completed in stages or as an extended continuous journey.
