What to expect

The Gaitanes Gorge is the must-see natural attraction in inland Malaga. This deep and steep canyon has a legendary walkway halfway up one of its vertical walls – the Caminito del Rey – which you'll get to trek on this full day tour.

After a scenic drive through the country, we'll stop off at a typical village for some free time to wander around its narrow, whitewashed-fringed streets. Then, don your walking boots as we set off on an 8km walk along the recently reopened Caminito del Rey, or King's Walkway.

Departing from the pine-fringed reservoirs, you'll trek along a spectacular walkway pinned along the steep gorge walls. Your guide will give you an insight into its geological origins and fascinating historical past. Finally, at the end of the journey, you'll have a well-earned break in El Chorro for the chance to grab a spot of lunch.

    Peut-être prendre un peu plus de temps sur le parcours pour lire les affichages… mais contrainte des autres groupes devant et derrière aussi

    Évoluez dans un très beau cadre, prise en compte de la sécurité, matériel très bien entretenue. Espace propre et agréable, de très beaux points de vues à partir du chemin des gorges. De très bonnes explications avec des commentaires très détaillés de notre guide et surtout en français très appréciable. Très belles randonnées ! Par rapport à la distance faite pas trop d'adrénaline même si certains passages sont impressionnants. Je ne recommanderai pas à des personnes qui ont le vertige

    Horaire de la randonnée pas trop adapté, midi c'est dommage. Arrêt dans le village trop court pour une vraie visite. Et beaucoup de temps de trajet pour récupérer les participants des autres hôtels. Sinon site et guide au top.

    Le seul bémol c'est que l'on a peine le temps de prendre des photos mais sinon c'est bien. On a eu un super guide. Je suis ravie car habituellement j'ai le vertige mais là à aucun moment j'ai eu cette sensation de vertige donc les passerelles sont top ??

    Très belle expérience. Il faut être sûre de pouvoir surmonter sa peur du vide. Et ne pas avoir mal aux genoux.

    Julien est vraiment un guide sympathique, intéressant, les endroits proposés pour se désaltérer ou faire les achats de sandwichs etc dont top. Un point d'amélioration pourrait être d'avoir un oeu plus de temps à Ardeles pour visiter, le village semble charmant.
