Caminito del Rey Day Trip from Malaga

Experience a day of nature and adventure on this excursion from Málaga to the Caminito del Rey, one of the most breathtaking trails in the province. From the moment you set off, a tour guide will share information about the villages and landscapes you’ll encounter along the way.

Before reaching the trail, there’s a stop in Ardales, a village of whitewashed houses surrounded by the mountainous landscape of Málaga. You’ll have some time to have breakfast, pop into the local shops or briefly soak up the atmosphere before continuing the journey.

Once at the Caminito del Rey, you’ll set off on the route accompanied by a qualified guide. The trail runs for over three kilometres along walkways suspended above the Gaitanes Gorge, at some points some 105 metres above the river.

Along the way, you’ll find wooden walkways, sections with glass flooring and suspension bridges set against a backdrop of rocky cliffs. The views over the canyon and the natural landscape make the walk a particularly appealing experience for lovers of hiking and photography.

After completing the route, you’ll return by coach to the designated drop-off point. In total, the excursion lasts approximately 8 hours, including travel time, the stop in Ardales and the visit to the Caminito del Rey.
