点评:I asked my hotel about getting to the gorge. They recommended against getting a random taxi, but negotiate the trip beforehand with their dedicated driver. We agreed on 25,000 CFA for the return trip, including a visit to Musée de Loango close to the gorge.
It took about 40 minutes to get to Diosso. There a guide joined us and showed the way to the entrance. He didn't speak a single word of English. He wrote the price (12,000 CFA) in the sand. I didn't have to pay separately for the entrance.
We first entered at a viewpoint of the gorge, then walked to another viewpoint where the path down started. It took about 10 minutes to climb down on the path which was far from comfortable. It had steep and narrow natural steps, fine sand rhat got into my shoes and a lot of flies. The path was partly covered in vegetation which was wet from the morning rain, so my shoes and pants got also wet, making the fine sand stick on them. After getting down there was a view to the walls of the gorge, not much different to the view from above.
A 45-minute walk down in the gorge followed. It was nothing to write home about: first we went in the forest (which covered the views to the walls of the gorge), and later continued on a road in the middle of fields. We ended up on a road on the opposite side of the gorge. My driver had driven there to meet us.
I wouldn't rate the gorge as a must-see, but as there's not much else to see around Pointe Noire, this is one of the best sights in the area, especially when combined with Musée de Loango.
If you want to climb down, you'll need a guide, as nothing is signposted and without knowing the way you will get lost in the forest.
翻译:我向酒店询问了如何前往峡谷。他们建议不要随便打车,但事先和他们的专职司机谈好了行程。我们同意25,000非洲法郎(CFA)作为回程费用,包含参观峡谷附近的卢安戈博物馆(Musée de Loango)。
我们大约40分钟到达迪奥索(Diosso)。在那里,一位导游加入了我们,并带我们去了入口。他一句英语都不会说。他把价格(12,000非洲法郎)写在了沙地上。我不用单独付门票钱。
我们先从峡谷的一个观景点进入,然后步行到另一个观景点,那里是下山路的起点。沿着这条下山路大约需要10分钟,但感觉很不舒服。路边有陡峭狭窄的天然台阶,细沙会钻进我的鞋子里,还有很多苍蝇。小路的一部分被植被覆盖,被早晨的雨水打湿了,所以我的鞋子和裤子也被打湿了,细沙粘在上面。下山后,峡谷的峭壁清晰可见,与上面的景色并无太大区别。
接下来,我们在峡谷里徒步了45分钟。这段旅程没什么特别的:我们先是走进了森林(森林遮挡了峡谷峭壁的景色),然后继续沿着田野间的一条道路前行。最后,我们来到了峡谷另一侧的一条路上。我的司机开车来接我们了。
我不会把峡谷列为必游景点,但由于黑角周围没有太多其他景点,所以这里是该地区最棒的景点之一,尤其是与卢安戈博物馆(Musée de Loango)一起游览时。
如果您想下山,需要一位向导,因为这里没有路标,如果不知道路,您会在森林里迷路。
