Chapman’s Peak Drive
Chapman’s Peak Drive near Cape Town, South Africa – connecting Hout Bay with Noordhoek – has often been called one of the “… most spectacular coastal roads in the world”.

Chapman’s Peak Drive
It was indeed a wild stormy winter’s day when I drove to my Yoga Workshop with Shimon Ben Avi on Sunday morning … all along Chapman’s Peak Drive. The pass was closed for a couple of years after a tragic accident and has since been beautifully restored. It is now a toll road – R30 (3 Euros) per trip in any direction… that’s for about 10 km of stunning vistas anywhere you look. Many people come here just to watch the sunset with a glass of champagne. . .
One does still take a risk on extremely stormy, rainy days… as who can tame Nature in such a grandeur? And this despite all the enormous road, bridge and rock retaining work that has been done with Swiss expertise.
But I can guarantee many moments that take your breath away as you inhale the beauty and majesty of Chapman’s Peak Drive… never mind the weather.
No Cape Travel & Tourism tour that doesn’t include Chapman’s Peak Drive on their circuit towards Cape Point – don’t miss it if you get a chance to experience it!
Yoga Workshop
These incredible views across majestic mountain ranges and the endless Atlantic Ocean always make me feel humble and privileged at the same time; it was just what I needed after a memorable Yoga Workshop… to let the unique wisdom and inspiration received sink in and. . . flow. . .
