The beauty of South Africa
Ponta de Ouro is one of those places you shouldn’t miss while you’re in South Africa. The town is recommended for those looking to unwind from the busy fast-paced city life. It’s really close to nature and the environment; that’s why shopping is very limited in the area. That’s also the best part of Ponta de Ouro- you have nothing to worry about other than to have a good time!
