Cape Fold Mountain is a mountain range located in the southwestern part of South Africa. It is part of the larger Cape Mountains and stretches from the Ceres Valley to the Cape Peninsula. The range is known for its dramatic landscapes, steep cliffs, and rich biodiversity, making it a popular destination for hikers and nature enthusiasts. The mountains were formed during the Cape Orogeny, a geological event that occurred around 300 million years ago. This process involved the folding and uplifting of sedimentary rock layers, creating the rugged terrain seen today. The region is also home to unique flora and fauna, contributing to its designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
