Your private experience begins with a comfortable hotel pick-up from your accommodation in Málaga, Marbella, or anywhere along the Costa del Sol. After meeting your professional driver and guide, you will begin the scenic drive inland toward the dramatic natural landscapes of El Chorro and Ardales.

Leaving the coastline behind, you will travel through the Andalusian countryside, passing olive groves, lakes, and traditional white villages such as Cártama, Pizarra, Carratraca, and Ardales. Your guide will share background about the region, and how the Caminito del Rey was transformed from the world’s most dangerous walkway into one of Spain’s most spectacular attractions.

Upon arrival at the Visitor Reception Area, your guide will take care of all entry procedures. You will receive your official safety helmet and walk along the access path leading to the start of the route. This short approach walk already offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains and reservoirs.

The guided walk lasts approximately 3 hours and follows a one-directional route of about 7.7 km (4.8 miles) through one of Spain’s most impressive natural landscapes. Highlights of the experience include: Suspended wooden walkways attached to the vertical cliffs The dramatic Gaitanes Gorge, rising over 100 meters high The famous glass-floored hanging bridge Deep canyons, turquoise river waters, and breathtaking photo opportunities Historical elements from the early hydroelectric projects of the early 20th century The pace is comfortable and well-controlled, with plenty of stops for photographs, explanations, and rest.
