From Visitanddo.com we present you a list of 10 essential places that you cannot miss in Caminito del Rey:
The northern entrance is an hour and twenty minutes from Málaga city centre. The tour takes you to the start of the route and picks you up at the southern entrance at the end, with a stop for breakfast in Ardales. That’s the key to the visit: the Caminito is a one-way route and ends seven kilometres from where it begins.
The 7.7-kilometre route takes around three hours to walk, including the footbridges and approach paths. The entire trip from Málaga takes between six and eight hours, including travel time.
No special physical fitness is required, but you will need to walk for three hours over uneven terrain and along sections of narrow footbridge more than a hundred metres above the river. Closed-toe footwear is recommended. This is not suitable for anyone who suffers from severe vertigo.
The excursion includes transport from Málaga or the Costa del Sol, admission and transfers between the two entry points. Individual tickets cover admission to the trail only, including a guided tour and a shuttle bus from El Chorro, for those arriving independently.
Yes. In El Chorro, you can combine the Caminito with rock climbing, an e-bike ride through the surrounding area or the via ferrata. There are two packages that combine the Caminito with either rock climbing or a two-hour e-bike ride on the same day.
We’re setting off for the Caminito early because entry is time-slotted. The bus stops for breakfast in Ardales; it enters via the northern entrance and picks you up at the southern end once you’ve finished the tour.
It is that detail that makes the trip worthwhile: El Caminito is a one-way route and ends seven kilometres from where it starts, so anyone travelling on their own will have to take the shuttle bus back or park their car some distance away.
The route isn’t suitable for everyone. There are sections of narrow walkway over the gorge, at a height of more than one hundred metres, and pushchairs are not permitted.
No special physical preparation is required, but you will need to walk for around three hours over uneven terrain and wear closed-toe shoes. Please check the age restriction on the activity page before booking.
