Overview

Caminito del Rey. Excursión desde Málaga – Grupo Reducido (8p max) –

El viaje al Caminito del Rey

En esta excursión al Caminito del Rey en un grupo pequeño (8 personas) descubrirá una de las gargantas fluviales más bonitas del mundo. Saliendo desde el centro de Málaga en nuestra furgoneta confort (viaje de 50 minutos), nos adentraremos en el valle del río Guadalhorce. Este valle es único en la provincia por su especialización en plantaciones de cítricos, naranjos y limoneros. Ascenderemos y cruzaremos las montañas y algunos pueblos blancos.

Una vez en Ardales, entraremos en el parque natural donde podrá disfurtar de las vistas sobre el embalse del Guadalhorce, las plantaciones de olivos y almendros en un paisaje dominado por pequeñas colinas.

La ruta a lo largo del Caminito del rey

Una vez en el parking, empezaremos el Caminito del rey (8 kms) cruzando el túnel y adentrándonos en el bosque. Tenemos 1,5 kms hasta la entrada oficial y la primera garganta. Una vez en la zona oficial nos pondremos los cascos y caminaremos hasta la primera garganta: la garganta del Gaitanejo.

En este primer cañón te verás sorprendido por su estrechez y por la belleza de sus colores. Cuando el sol acaricia la roca caliza los naranjas resaltan ofreciendo una postal única. Pararemos en los puntos más singulares para explicar la historia, fauna y flora de estas tierras.

Una vez finalizado el primer cañón, caminaremos por el valle del Hoyo. Las vistas desde el valle hacia el próximo cañón son de una indiscutible belleza. Una vez en el bosque, haremos una parada y un picnic con productos locales.

Estamos llegando a la última parte del Caminito del Rey y llegando al segundo cañón, de mayor belleza que le primero. En el desfiladero de los Gaitanes, el Camino se suspende 110 metros en vertical sobre el río. Las vistas son sobrecogedoras y la sensación de caminar sobre el aire máxima. Descubriremos en esta parte algunos fenómenos geológicos, fósiles y buitres leonados. Al final del desfiladeros de los Gaitanes, cruzaremos el espectacular puente en suspensión, punto álgido de la ruta.

El Camino de vuelta

Todavía tenemos que cruzar la última parte, cruzando el pantano de El Chorro hasta el pueblo del mismo nombre. Allí cogeremos el autobús lanzadera para volver al punto de inicio. Desde allí nos volveremos a Málaga.

We had a nice tour, Alfonso was extremely friendly and the places are amazing ! Even though the paths are easy and the whole experience is not a long one in terms of distance walked, don't overestimate your fitness level.

Don't be afraid! Just do it!

We went to the Caminito del Rey with Alfonso. It was an AMAZING experience. If you are thinking about it, but you aren't sure... I think you should do it. We have a healthy concern about heights and we were fine. There is something to hold on to the whole way. Alfonso is very knowledgeable about the geology and history of the area. He even shares restaurant recommendations! He is a wonderful host and we highly recommend this experience. There might be nothing in the world like it!
