    FAQs

    We recommend that you book as soon as you are sure about your dates, as accommodation can fill up very quickly in this area. 

    It is a route considered to be of moderate to high-rated difficulty and an average walk of 24 km can be expected daily, on irregular routes and high cliff trails, so it is not recommended for people with vertigo. In addition, there are certain sections that can be more exhausting than others because the route crosses sand.  

    Your 20 kg bag or suitcase will be transferred from one accommodation to another while you are completing your daily itinerary.

    Once you make your reservation we will send you all the detailed information about the specific equipment you need for this route, considering recommendations for shoes, boots, clothes and a day-to day backpack.
