Caminito del Rey
Day trip to Caminito del Rey from Costa del Sol
Trekking along Caminito del Rey – a picturesque route along the walls of the mighty limestone canyon of the Guadalhorce River in the Desfiladero de los Gaitanes Nature Park. The trail is located at an altitude of approx. 100 m, and the cliffs rise to 700 m. The total length of the route is 8 km, of which approx. 3 km is covered by a footbridge attached to the limestone rocks above the gorge. Thanks to renovation and security, it can be completed by people without climbing experience. Note! The minimum age of participants is 8 years.
Due to the limited number of admission tickets available, we recommend purchasing or booking optional tours in advance.
