Description
Beautiful valley with massive granite domes up to 1200 feet tall. Probably a lifetime of new route development still waiting here. Picturesque place to visit, with some small farms that operate guesthouses close to the rocks. Most of the domes are quite featureless, so the climbing is mostly bolted slab climbing.
Options to stay at the Fazenda Rio Uiri (recommended) or Fazenda Chinandala (Pousada do Engelo).
Getting There
Drive South from Luanda on the Luanda-Lobito road. After about 3 hours, you will pass Porto Amboim. From there begin looking for the road to Gabela and Binga Falls (good road with good signs). Take this road to the left and follow it over the top of Binga Falls (great rest stop) up into the mountains toward Gabela. Look for a sign to the right for Conda. A good road turns right (away from the Gabela road) back down the mountain to the river Queve (the same one that forms Binga falls). Cross the bridge over the Queve and continue a few km to the city of Conda. Continue South on the road and you will enter the valley where the majority of the big rocks reside. You cannot miss it.
