This tour is the most comfortable and convenient way to visit this remarkable site, originally constructed between 1901 and 1905. The Caminito del Rey, considered a miracle of engineering, was inaugurated in 1925 by King Alfonso XIII, whose journey along the path gives it its name.
Accompanied by our passionate and knowledgeable guide, you’ll learn about the history and secrets of this extraordinary route, as well as the economic motivations behind its construction. The pathway stretches 7.7 kilometers, winding through the dramatic gorges of Los Gaitanes and El Gaitanejo.

One of the highlights is crossing the famous “chocolate staircase” and walking on the transparent viewing platform, offering a thrilling perspective of the canyon below. You’ll feel the adrenaline rush as you cross the hanging bridge, suspended 105 meters above the gorge, and continue your journey along the narrow pathways that hug the cliffs.
