Full description

Prepare for a day of adventure as you walk the Caminito del Rey along the walls of the El Chorro gorge in Málaga. Follow a guide on a safe trail leading to the footbridge that runs through the Desfiladero de Los Gaitanes.

Begin your day with a pickup from one of the many spots in Málaga and travel to Ardales. You will make a short stop in Ardales, a white village, so you can purchase breakfast in a this local area before to start the activity.

Return to the bus and continue until you reach the northern access point of the Caminito del Rey. Walk through a small long tunnel to reach the natural paths that lead to the entrance checkpoint of the gorges. Then, receive a helmet and listen to the safety instructions. Learn what to expect during the trek and the guide will accompany you at the end of the group to answer your questions along the way while you enjoy the experience.

Pass by the Gorge of the Gaitanes, a natural pass across the hills that separates the Malaga coastline from the islands with the River Guadalhorce flowing at the bottom.

Embark on a safe and comfortable walk surrounded by breathtaking scenery. El Caminito del Rey, after many years of total abandonment, is now a rebuilt path that stretches between 2 gorges and a large valley.

After finishing the downhill trail from north to south, reach the exit point where your bus awaits. Once the group is on board the bus, return to Costa del Sol and be dropped off at your pickup point.

Such an unforgettable experience, one of the best in my life. Highly recommended. Alex, our guide on our way to start the activity provided so many information for Caminito del Rey and its history which made the experience even better. Jorge our driver was the best, quite experienced driver, his driving ability ( even in small roads) made me feel quite safe and comfortable. About Caminito del Rey i have to say it worths every penny, it's going to stay forever in my mind, such a unique experience. Although it is one of the most dangerous trails because of the height etc. i believe it's very well maintained. Thank you everyone!!

A really fun day with our Guide Jorges on the bus and Sofia on the walk! Enjoyed stopping for breakfast on the way. The walk was spectacular! Perfect pace and Sofia was very informative! We took snacks and drinks in our rucksacks and ate them at the end.

Caminito del ray is an amazing place to visit. Full of natural beauty. Would not recommend for those afraid of heights in the slightest as the bridge at the end does move on windy days. However, anyone can do it at any age (8-99). The tour group itself is worth it. Was a fun day.
