The entire route is framed by sheer 400-meter-high cliffs, descending to a mere 10 meters at its narrowest juncture. Below, the untamed currents of the Guadalhorce River cascade toward the coast.
This locale once housed pivotal railway and hydroelectric infrastructures during the 19th and 20th centuries, forming the backbone of connections and road networks that endure into the 21st century, transforming into the famed El Caminito del Rey walkway.
This natural enclave has been a focus of influence for the settlement and development of human groups in the surroundings of the natural area of Gaitanejo and El Chorro from prehistoric times to the present day, documented by the abundance of archaeological sites.
This unforgettable expedition promises cherished memories and remarkable photographs. Following the adventure, the guide will accompany you back to the Visitors' Reception Center via one of the shuttle buses.
