Information about the Excursion from Malaga to the Caminito del Rey

Discover the Caminito del Rey, one of the most popular tourist attractions in the province of Malaga. You will be amazed by the scenery, the breathtaking views, the botany, the fauna and the history. This is one of the most interesting hiking routes in the world, as it offers a route through the Natural Park Desfiladero de los Gaitanes at an altitude of more than 100 metres.

We will meet at the marked meeting point, where we will board the minibus that will take us inland to the beautiful province of Malaga. We will first cross the Alcaparaín mountain range, passing through the typical white villages and orange groves. We will recover our strength in Ardales for half an hour. Here we can enjoy the authenticity of its streets and views.

We will then enter through the northern access to the Caminito del Rey. The route will run through safe platforms that cover 4.8 kms with the best views of the reservoirs of El Chorro for about four hours. You will be accompanied by a local guide who will explain the precautions to be taken along the way, and will give you the background to everything you need to know about this amazing route.

This footbridge was inaugurated by King Alfonso XIII in 1921, which is why it is known as “El Caminito del Rey”. This route, one of the most impressive paths in southern Europe, was used by children on their way to school and by entire families on their journeys between the mountains and the surrounding villages. Nowadays, the path has been restored and awarded for its restoration work, which makes it safe enough to walk along and also really impressive.

This unique trail and its vertiginous walkways that run through the heart of the canyons through which the Guadalhorce River flows are a must for nature lovers. Don’t miss this opportunity and book this guided tour of the Caminito del Rey with an expert guide.

After immortalising the experience with a photo, we finish our tour at the point from where we started.

The section from the gate of one footbridge to the other and the paths or forest tracks has an estimated duration of 4 hours, so there is plenty of time during the visit to take photos and admire the scenery at your leisure.
