Caminito del Rey: Tours & Tickets

I would recommend a visit to Caminito del Rey to anyone as long as they don’t really struggle with heights. I’m not great with heights myself but the walkway feels safe and secure. I took my two teenage sons who also enjoyed it and our guide Paul engages them and gave us lots of additional information about the history, fauna, and flora. It was a small group and we felt well looked after. The gorge itself as phenomenal and it’s a unique way to experience such an awesome natural phenomenon.

We enjoyed our tour with Rachel. She provided a lot of fascinating historical information on the Caminato del Rey as well as really informative information what we saw, from the technical side of the hydroelectric development project to the local geology that had led to the right local conditions, and including the local fauna, flora and sparse population. Thank you for a well led tour, a really enjoyable morning! Un très grand merci pour une très belle visite du Caminato del Rey.

The bus picked us up in Malaga. After a small breakfast we started the walking (a bit later then expected, because of the the long queues). Once you enter the route, you walk on our own, no guide. You already got some info in the bus and it’s very relaxing to be able to walk at your own pace. The bus trip back was quick (maybe because of the nap :) ) and we arrived back in Malaga by 14:45

I love trips to the nature, but this was something more. The views thruog the path ar astonishing. The remains of the old path are telling the story of danger and strong will to build something. You can feal this danger on every step of your walk. I loved it an wish to return once more with the option to visit the lake.

We sort of expected a local guide during the walk in the park, which unfortunately wasn't present. Still the tour guide took us past an unusual route before we entered the park, which was fun. Furthermore, he (probably) told most of the stuff in the bus but it's harder to concentrate without visuals.
