Caminito del Rey with transport from the Costa del Sol
Description
The Desfiladero de los Gaitanes Natural Park is one of the most spectacular landscapes in the Malaga mountain range, with steep walls of considerable height, between which runs the Guadalhorce River. It is a canyon carved out by the river that is only 10 metres wide at some points and up to 700 metres deep. The construction of a water channel was accompanied by a maintenance path for the channel, known as Caminito del Rey (Little King's Path) because the work was inaugurated by King Alfonso XIII. This path (known as the walkways), some 3 kilometres long, has just been restored, and runs between vertical walls and a bridge in the gorge itself over the water channel. The route of El Caminito del Rey is spectacular, from its arrival in the area of the Conde de Guadalhorce reservoir to its exit at the El Chorro dam. It is a linear, non-circular, one-way route of almost 8 km, which takes an average of 3 to 4 hours to complete.
What we are going to do?
The experience includes pick up from different pick up points and hotels on the Costa del Sol. Once on the coach, we will head towards Ardales, where we will stop for breakfast before heading towards Malaga. On arrival, we will go to the security checkpoint at the entrance to the Caminito, where we will be given the relevant instructions and the obligatory protective helmets. At this point, the guide will leave us alone to enjoy the tour at our own pace. After finishing the incredible experience between walkways and the suspension bridge, we will arrive at the end of the Caminito where we will return the helmets and meet again with the guide, to take the bus back to the different points of the Costa del Sol.
