Characterized by the wide open spaces of the Karoo and defined by the dramatic mountains which divide the dry interior from the wetter coastal regions, the Inland Route East - Route 62 - is the quieter, alternate route between Cape Town and Montagu.

With few major centers along the way, this is the perfect road to follow if you're looking for the real rural South Africa. It has come to known as the World's Longest Wine Route weaving through the wine regions of Paarl, Wellington, Tulbagh, Worcester, Robertson and the Little Karoo - and some of the country's most spectacular agricultural fields. Along the way you'll see grapes, deciduous fruit and olives - and miles and miles of untouched open space.
