Is this trip right for you?
This trip involves plenty of walking and is best suited to travellers with a good level of mobility. Good footwear is a must.
There will be some long walking days, and we recommend reading descriptions of all walks carefully. Your longest walking day is 29 km, but there will be the option to take a taxi to shorten the walking distance.
During your trip you will visit numerous religious sites. You will need to bring clothes that cover the shoulders and knees. A light scarf is a good idea for covering shoulders and arms when it’s hot. Your leader will be able to advise when such clothing is necessary.
On this trip you must pack as lightly as possible because you’ll be expected to carry your own bag. Although you won't be required to walk long distances with your luggage (max 30 minutes), we strongly recommend keeping the weight under 15 kg (33 lb). Most travellers carry their luggage in a backpack, although an overnight bag with a shoulder strap would suffice. You'll also need a day pack/bag to carry water and a camera for daytrips.

If you are a first time Camino walker like me, don't hesitate to book. We had a fantastic local guide Miguel who we would have been lost without - between translations, his incredible knowledge of not only the route but the history behind it and also his vast experience walking the Camino ( how to pace ourselves, hidden historical monuments etc) - we wouldn't have had the same experience without him.

This tour was an unforgettable experience. Our guide's knowledge was truly astounding, and they set a perfect pace for the group. Their invaluable assistance with language and logistics made the journey completely stress-free. The trip was made ten times better thanks to this booking with Intrepid.

The trip was amazing. Our leader Oswaldo made a big impact on it. It is a challenging walk, I am not going to lie, but the whole group and leader are encouraging and motivating. The trip is full of little surprises and special moments if you pay attention. I hope you are so lucky as we were having such an amazing group of humans. there were solo travelers also, but they were 100% included and had a really good time. It's a trip to quiet the inner noise, to re connect with nature and to share some big achievements. Buen Camino!

This trip was simply incredible - we had Ozzy as our guide and he was thoughtful, knowledgeable and thought of everything we didn’t. I couldn’t recommend this more whether you want to find yourself or meet friends for life. It was an incredible journey.

What a life charging amazing trip and trail. The Camino was hard at times, but helped me spiritually and physically. Oswaldo was such a leader that took care of us physically and mentally and helped us gel as a group. If you are on the fence on this trip, just do it! It really is a life charging walk. (But do take some liner socks) Buen Camino!

Had an amazing time on the Camino! Ossy was a fantastic leader who encouraged us all the way through the 115kms! The heat and hills at times were tough, but as a group you encourage each other through it! Would definitely recommend!
