Can't get to Europe to make the famous pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela cathedral in Spain? Try one of these homegrown versions instead

Image:This 160km circular route crosses the Cape Peninsula in a figure of eight. According to their website, it is"set between mountains and oceans ... offering space, adventure, meditation, fellowships, challenges and triumphs".

It was plotted by Gabrielle and Peggy Andrew after they walked to Santiago in 2011. The route is divided into seven legs, so do one or do them all. You can also start anywhere along the route but many choose the Schoenstatt Shrine in Constantia.Like most South African caminos, the Baviaans route is not about trekking from church to church but rather about having the kind of spiritual experience that walking in a wild place encourages.

The route goes from the Baviaanskloof - one of SA's great wildernesses - and over the Kouga Mountains to the south, traversing remote, undeveloped and mountainous country.
