The Scariest Path In The World now in HD
El Caminito del Rey (English: The King's little pathway) is a walkway or via ferrata, now fallen into disrepair,
pinned along the steep walls of a narrow gorge in El Chorro, near Álora in the district of Málaga,
Spain. The name is often shortened to Camino del Rey.
In 1901 it became obvious that workers
at the hydroelectric power plants at Chorro Falls and Gaitanejo Falls needed a walkway to cross between
the falls, to provide for transport of materials, and for the inspection and maintenance of the channel.
Construction of the walkway took four years and it was finished in 1905.
This walkway now serves as
an aproach to Makinodromo, the famous climbing sector of El Chorro in Spain's Andalucia. And it is the
hairiest path. The area of El Chorro situated in the south of Spain is renowned amongst travelers and mountain hikers
for its stunning scenery and climbs, yet this is not the main attraction on offer, El Chorro is host
to one of the most dangerous walkways in the world, built by workers to transport materials between the Chorro and Gaitanejo Falls
