Pettigala: A Rock Viewpoint Off the Beaten Track

By Days of Iru and Opa

Pettigala is one of those local rock viewpoints that rarely shows up in guidebooks, which is exactly the appeal. The short climb opens onto a wide view over green hills with almost no crowds.

What to expect

From the top of the rock the land rolls away in every direction, and on a clear day the view is huge. Because it is off the tourist map, you often get it to yourself.

Good to know

A local guide or driver helps with directions, since it is not well signposted. Take water and proper shoes for the climb.
