This day trip from the Costa del Sol allows you to discover El Caminito del Rey – one of the most dangerous walkways in the world!
You'll be hugging a sheer cliff as you walk along paths and footbridges with maximum heights of 105 metres across a total distance of 7.7 kilometres. This excursion is the most comfortable and practical way to visit the Caminito del Rey from Malaga or the Costa del Sol. Your ticket gives you round trip bus transfer, a guided tour, and tickets to the Caminito del Rey.
Your guide will be with you throughout the walk, so once you've accustomed yourself to the heights and the narrow walkway, they'll fill you in on the history and secrets of the area – including what led to the construction of the walkways between the Gaitanes and Gaitanejo gorges.
The walk should take around four hours, during which time you'll pass the Guadalhorce river dam, descend the famous 'chocolate ladder', and pass by plenty of charming Mediterranean vegetation. If you've got the guts, don't forget to take a photo from the transparent platform that has a sheer drop 100 metres beneath it.
Your trip culminates at the suspension bridge in Gaitanes Gorge. From there, return the helmets and arrive at the southern access at El Chorro, where the return bus to Malaga or the Costa del Sol awaits.
Combine El Caminito del Rey with other Ardales favorites. Some things are better together.
