Excursion Bejaia vistas tour at Bejaia
Cruise line: SilverseaDifficulty:
You proceed uphill to Pic de Singes. You have to climb 123 low steps to get to the promontory. It certainly is worth the effort as this is the best viewing point in Bejaïa. From here you can also see Yemma Gouraya, an ancient fort dedicated to a local (female) saint. Refreshments will be served as you take in the awesome vistas around you. Down below, you will see Les Aiguades, a beautiful creek with clear blue waters.
You reboard your coach for your final stop at another viewing spot which is reached by walking through a 20-meter tunnel dug into a mountain to marvel at Cap Carbon Lighthouse, perched on a rock outcrop 250 meters above sea-level. Not only is this one of the highest lighthouses in the world, but it is also the most powerful in Africa, having a reach of approximately 50 kilometers. Cervantes, author of the famous Don Quixote, was imprisoned here whilst in exile in Algeria. You will have some free time to take photos.
You then board your coach for the return journey to the ship driving past the larger-than-life monument of a Freedom Fighter known as "El Mudjahid".
