• The second largest canyon in the world
• Dramatic scenery
The Fish River Canyon is a spectacular fissure in the earth, a sudden
drop of several hundreds of metres into a narrow gorge. The canyon
stretches on for 161km and at the bottom, trickles the Fish River.
This is also where the gruelling Fish River Hiking Trail is set, a
five day walk over 86km on the floor of the canyon. Despite the soaring
temperatures, the hike is popular due to the austere beauty of the
red and purple rock face landscape and the tremendous challenge it
poses to hikers.
