NATUREBlyde River Canyon
The great green canyon of the escarpment
Blyde River Canyon is one of the largest canyons on Earth and one of the few often described as green because of its lush subtropical vegetation. The surrounding Panorama Route includes classic viewpoints such as the Three Rondavels, Bourke's Luck Potholes and God's Window. It is one of South Africa's most scenic self-drive regions.
