Discover El Caminito del Rey, one of the most demanded and impressive visits. A tour in a unique natural environment through a breath-taking path that crosses the Gorge of the Gaitanes, in the province of Malaga.
In 1921, El Caminito del Rey was named because of King Alfonso XIII who went there. The time and its disuse caused it to deteriorate greatly and become the most dangerous path in Europe, causing several victims.
After a magnificent restoration work, the Caminito del Rey is currently perfectly passable without any risk, with a part built taking advantage of what was built by the Chorro station Hydroelectric Society.
It is a walk parallel to the railroad tracks where you can walk and enjoy the famous route of the Gaitanes gorge and the Gaitanejo.
The tour will be 7 kilometers from Ardales to Álora and that will be full of emotions and surprises.
A beautiful experience for nature lovers, with spectacular landscapes and stunning photographs that you can take.

5.00Very good experience, especially since I had not managed to book with a guide in French, we were surprised to have a guide who also spoke French.
Must do while in Malaga!!

2.00The actual walk and views were stunning. Sadly we were left underwhelmed with your process. After firstly having a change from midday to 3pm which effected our planned day. The meeting point organisation and size of group, 30 certainly isn’t a small group, there were so many other groups on track slowed the whole event down, there was little information from the guide, at the end we were left to get to pick up or shuttle bus areas. We were not advised that the shuttle was not included. Many others were not impressed that a ticket was required. Had we known what we were going to get for our guided tour we would have just walked independently and not have had to waste our day. You have a very special place here to showcase and sadly we were left not wanting to recommend this to anyone to do a guided tour. Big tick for views
Stay away!!!

1.00No guide for Caminito del Ray showed up at the time set in the ticket (1200). Took ages to Get in contact with Customer support and they dismissed everything claiming the tour was at 1500 leaving a big Group pretty angry. No support to solve the situation. . Stay away. The company has a very bad reputation amongst guides. Buy tickets directly instead!

3.00I extend my sincere gratitude to our guide, Antonio, from La Garganta Activa, for his expertise, engaging demeanor, and patience. My three-star rating reflects an issue with Naturanda's scheduling. Despite confirming a 12 pm start time the previous day, I received a 9:45 pm WhatsApp notification of a change to 3:30 pm. On the day of the event, José from Naturanda further adjusted the time to 4:30 pm, explaining that he was coordinating with his boss. While I enjoyed the activity itself, the significant scheduling changes and resulting inconvenience warrant this feedback.
