The valley hosts an incredibly dense gallery of !Xam and Khoi rock paintings and sites of archaeological interest. Other attractions include hiking trails, Storytellers Fynbos Apothecary natural products workshop, Sevilla Rock Art Trail, wine tasting, viewing the wildflowers in Spring, visiting the Calvinia Museum and rock climbing.
