Cape of Good Hope

The Cape of Good Hope is located at the most south-western corner of the Cape Peninsula in Western Cape, Cape Town of South Africa. It is about 2 kilometres west and a little south of Cape Town. Both the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Town offer spectacular scenery. with wild, rugged, scenic and generally unspoiled national park.

The first European to reach the cape was the Barthomolew Diaz from Portugal in 1488, who named it the "Cape of Storms" (Cabo das Tormentas). It was later renamed by John II as "Cape of Good Hope" (Cabo da Boa Esperança) because of the great optimism engendered by the opening of a sea route to India and the East. (Wikipedia, 2009).
