Caminito del Rey
from Seville

Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are the best seasons for their pleasant temperatures and soft light for photos. The Caminito del Rey is closed on Mondays and throughout January for maintenance. In summer we always arrange it first thing in the morning to avoid the hottest hours.

Yes, it’s absolutely essential. The official tickets sell out weeks (even months in high season) in advance. When you book our tour, we take care of arranging and purchasing the tickets in your name — you don’t have to worry about a thing.

The full day lasts between 9 and 10 hours: approximately 2h30 of travel from Seville, 3-4 hours on the Caminito (including the access trails), an hour for lunch and another 2h30 for the return. The walk on the walkways themselves takes about 2 hours.

It includes: pick-up and return to your hotel, a private vehicle with driver, an officially licensed local guide, official Caminito del Rey tickets, the compulsory safety helmet, the shuttle transfer between the two entrances of the route and public liability insurance. It does not include lunch (we take you to a local venta and you order à la carte).

It is not dangerous. After the 2015 restoration, the walkways were completely rebuilt with railings, solid wooden flooring and secure anchoring to the wall. The helmet is compulsory (we provide it) because of possible falling stones from the top of the canyon. No serious accident has been recorded since it reopened.

If your fear of heights is very strong, it can be challenging: there are sections 100 metres above the river and a stretch of transparent glass floor. However, the walkways are wide (1.5 m) and perfectly protected with railings. Many clients with a moderate fear of heights complete it without any problem by focusing on looking at the horizon. If in doubt, write to us before booking and we’ll advise you.

Yes, the official regulations set a minimum age of 8. Entry is not permitted for children under that age, nor with babies in a backpack or carrier. For older visitors in good physical shape there is no upper limit — we regularly welcome clients aged 70 or over who complete the route without any problem.

Closed, comfortable footwear (trainers or hiking shoes — flip-flops and heels are not allowed), clothing suited to the season, sun protection (cream, cap, sunglasses), at least a litre of water, an energy snack and your camera or phone for photos. In winter, add a windproof jacket; in summer, a lightweight long-sleeved top. We provide the helmet.

Yes, we organise the excursion to the Caminito del Rey from any city in Andalusia: Málaga (1h by car), Marbella (1h30), Ronda (45 min), Granada (1h45), Córdoba (2h) or from the Costa del Sol. We adapt the pick-up time to your starting point. Ask us about availability and a personalised price.

Of course, that’s the advantage of a private tour. We can combine the Caminito del Rey with visits to Ronda, the white villages (Setenil de las Bodegas, Olvera), the Gaduares river gorge or a tasting of Málaga olive oils and wines. We also adapt the pace, the stops and the lunch to your preferences. Tell us what you’re looking for and we’ll design the day for you.
