The rugged Cederberg Mountains are famous for their amazing rock formations, San rock paintings and spectacular flowers in Spring.Travel north from Cape Town and over the Piekenierskloof Pass and you descend into a world that has a raw, awe-inspiring beauty. Purple-hued mountain peaks lean towards fruit-laden valleys sweet with the smell of orange blossom in spring. The Cederberg is one of the best areas for rock art in the World, with 2 500 discovered sites. The Sevilla Rock Art Trail is on Travellers Rest farm about 40 minutes drive from Clanwilliam over the Pakhuis Pass. Buy a permit at the farm of Haffie Strauss before taking the trail. At Rocklands you can take the donkey cart ride to Heuningvlei. It begins at the top of the Pakhuis Pass (where you leave your car) and takes two-and-a-half hours to Heuningvlei.
