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.

An excellent trip overall: nice and warm people from all around the world who got along great, an incredible tour leader, Oswaldo, who took the experience to the next level, and the wonderful walks along the Camino as well as the exquisite typical food, all made it an unforgettable trip.

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!

Just completed the last part of the Comino de Santiago, Sarria to Santiago de Compostela with Intrepid tours. It was the best experience of my life because of the encouragement and assistance I received from the guide, Cristina and our whole team of great women of various ages. The constant support, comfortable sleeps and great food all locally sourced. Thanks Intrepid.

Amazing experience, well informed and organized trip with caring, practical, authentic and fun leader. The Camiño de Santiago walk is the best experience of my life, a way to reminisce on life, relationships and purpose and meaning of life. You go in the Camiño feeling apprehensive, not knowing what to expect but you finish it refreshed, healed with faith renewed, wounds almost healed and friendships for life. It gives so much joy, hope and unity. I have Loved it. Buen Camiño!!

A wonderful experience. Cristina was a brilliant guide who captured the magic of the Camino experience. Everyone is so friendly, the scenery is beautiful, the food is great, and I can see why the Camino is so special! This is my fourth Intrepid holiday, and I hope to book another one in the future.

This Camino trip was absolutely unforgettable - beautifully organized and deeply enriching. Our tour leader, Cristina, was exceptional: knowledgeable, compassionate, and always going the extra mile to support everyone. Her passion and care made the experience truly special. I couldn’t have asked for a better journey or a better guide.
