A Trail of Two Cities
FULL DAY 09:00am to 5:00pm

Juxtaposed against the backdrop of Table Mountain and our Two Oceans is a sprawling reality of our townships, which are a crucible of the world’s most pressing problems. Emerging out of these harsh circumstances are the inspiring examples of hope. The Cape Care Route showcases some of the projects where people are caring for the environment and for each other. Initiated for the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development, this Trail of Two Cities celebrates the partnerships that bring prosperity to both planet and people.
