Caminito del Rey hiking trail tour from the Costa del Sol

3.9/5
3 reviews

The Gaitanes Gorge is the must-see natural attraction in inland Malaga. This deep and steep canyon has a legendary walkway halfway up one of its vertical walls – the Caminito del Rey – which you'll get to trek on this full day tour.

After a scenic drive through the country, we'll stop off at a typical village for some free time to wander around its narrow, whitewashed-fringed streets. Then, don your walking boots as we set off on an 8km walk along the recently reopened Caminito del Rey, or King's Walkway. “It's hard to believe now, but this gorge was carved patiently by water over millions of years," says Becky, one of our expert local guides. "All this wild beauty is unique and . Nature took its time here.”

Departing from the pine-fringed reservoirs, you'll trek along a spectacular walkway pinned along the steep gorge walls. Your guide will give you an insight into its geological origins and fascinating historical past. Finally, at the end of the journey, you'll have a well-earned break in El Chorro for the chance to grab a spot of lunch.

    The Guide on the walk could have had more information to tell about the construction of the walk route plus the radio system used was insufficient the microphone was often not close enough to the guides mouth so was hard to hear her in the windy conditions

    Wycieczka atrakcyjna, super widoki. Organizacja logistyczna niestety troche zawiodla z uwagi na czas zbierania i odwozenia osób z róznych hoteli. Najwieksza grupa wsiadala jako pierwsza i wysiadala ostatnia co sprawilo, ze spedzilismy w autokarze ponad 5 godzin.

    szlak Caminito del Rey sam w sobie jest świetny, organizacja TUI fatalna, pomieszanie grupy polsko jezycznej z moze 5 obvokrajowcami, 1,5h “wycieczka” po pobliskich hotelach (wyjazd o 7 rano by zaczac szlak w poludnie i chodzic w najwiekszym upale), walki takie nie dzialaly wiec malo co bylo slychac
