About this activity

The Caminito Del Rey private day trip from Malaga (King's little pathway) in El Chorro is probably one of the most exciting walking tours you will ever do. Closed to the public for the last 15 years, it is now once again open after a 5 million Euro restoration project.

The Caminito Del Rey featured recently in the lonely planet's top new travel experiences. It was once known as one of the world’s most dangerous hikes, but not anymore. Now the King's little pathway in El Chorro is safely open to all.

The true attraction of the Caminito Del Rey is still there with awesome views and an amazing sense of naturalness of the spectacular rock walls, dazzlingly high walking ledges and breath-taking hanging bridge which will stay with you forever.

For those looking for an amazing experience along with spectacular views and something you will never experience again, then this is for you.

Itinerary

Caminito del Rey

3 hours Admission included

Private tour of the spectacular Caminito del rey with private English-speaking official guide to give you a wonderful insight of the history and culture of the amazing place. / /

The Caminito Del Rey is situated in the Gorge Desfiladero de Los Gaitanes and in certain areas, it is just 10m wide and 700m deep. The Caminito Del Rey, translates as ‘The King’s Little Pathway’) and was constructed as a walkway to provide access to several reservoirs used to provide water to a hydroelectric plant. It was opened by King Alfonso XIII and took his name.

The original walk way was a very dangerous walkway, perched on top of metal rods that were hammered in to the side of the gorge. During the last century, the walkway fell into disrepair and began to crumble. This made it an extremely dangerous walkway and after numerous deaths, it was closed. This still did not stop people attempting to walk or climb it.
