Camino dos Faros Tours
Booking one of these amazing Camino dos Faros Tours will open up an entirely new world full of adventure for you.
Camino dos Faros tours are a bit of an underrated experience when it comes to camino routes, as they take you on a path less-travelled that follows along the Costa da Morte (Coast of Death) to reach Finisterre (the end of the earth). Terrain along the Lighthouse Way is fairly rugged, meaning that they are only suitable for walking, not biking. Even still, Camino dos Faros tours are an amazing experience that make for the perfect active holiday.
