A Prime Holiday Destination The Garden Route is a 300 kilometre (186 mile) stretch of the southern-most Cape coast that traverses the Western and Eastern Cape Provinces between the cities of Cape Town and Port Elizabeth. It is so named for its natural bounty and beauty. Verdant indigenous forest, secluded lagoons and stunning beaches, rugged crags and striking gorges covered in aloes and fynbos, picturesque farmland patchworks and towering mountain peaks create a stunning backdrop for an incredible range of holiday and leisure activities. Holiday Towns and Activities Popular holiday towns with pastoral outskirts are dotted along the Garden Route, and they add much charm and interest to this region. Mossel Bay, George, Wilderness, Knysna, Plettenberg Bay and Nature’s Valley offer a plethora of activities and attractions. Visitors can expect excellent wineries and gourmet artisanal foods; high quality crafts and designer boutiques; farmer’s markets and antique stores; unique furniture and interior décor that utilise the marvellous indigenous woods and other natural resources of the region. It is a dream holiday for those who enjoy walking in nature, sunbathing and swimming, marine cruises and fishing, scenic drives and flights. The more active and adventurous can enjoy hiking and mountain-biking, abseiling and bungee jumping, as well as shark diving. springbokatlas/destination/garden-route/facts-info/quick-facts-about-the-garden-route-2/
