Full description

Hike Caminito del Rey, a suspended walkway surrounded by a scenic landscape, with a guide on a trip from Málaga. Along the route, learn the real story behind the construction of this great work of engineering.

Hop aboard a bus from Málaga and travel to Ardales. Receive a safety briefing from your guide and strap on your helmets. Start the one-way hike of Caminito del Rey at the North access and make your way to the South access.

Pass by mountains that emerged millions of years ago and vertical canyons born by the force of the Guadalhorce River. Listen to stories of adventurers and climbers. Hear about the visit of one of the most powerful men in the history of Spain, King Alfonso XIII. The trail has a length of 4.8 miles (7.7 kilometers) but is a simple walk, especially with your guide keeping you company. At the end of the trail, return to your bus and be driven back to Málaga.

Let me tell you that I’ve always been afraid of heights but I am so happy I did this tour. It is once in a lifetime experience. Our tour guide Luis made this trip extra special. He was so amazing and funny. I usually don’t remember facts about places but this time I actually remember. The tour ran on time. The walking pace was just perfect. The bus driver lady was really nice as well. I would highly recommend this tour as the scenery is just out of this world. Thank you so much my husband and I had a very lovely time!

Excellent experience and great organisation! Before going for the tour considered renting the car and going on our own, but during the tour understood that going with the group eliminated all potential hassles, from getting there, parking the car, gaining entry, to getting back…. Would definitely advise the organised tour as best option for anybody considering this trip. And, of course, Hose Miguel (sorry if I misspelled it) was a perfect guide with his romantic, plant, animal and other stories! Thanks for the great experience!
