Barberton Makhonjwa Geotrail

About

Barberton Makhonjwa Geotrail brings visitors through one of the most beautiful regions in South Africa: a greenbelt that’s likely the oldest mountain range on the planet. The well-paved road and easy walking paths make exploring rock formations dating back over 3 billion years easy for everyone - you just get out of the car. Informative sign posts at each of the 11 geosites describe both what you’re seeing, and how the Earth evolved from a lifeless hunk of rock. Some of the sites you’ll discover include a 3.2 billion year-old beach, volcanic pilows formed by lava erupting on the sea floor, and some of the first macroscopic signs of life.
