Beginning in Santiago de Compostela and stretching to the storied cliffs of Finisterre, this route has long been a continuation of the Way of St. James, leading pilgrims from the revered Cathedral of Santiago to what was once the edge of the known world.
The route's historical significance is rooted in its name, Finisterre – derived from the Latin 'finis' for 'end' and 'terrae' for 'earth.' It was the medieval symbol of the world's boundary.
Today, the Camino Finisterre is cherished for more than its spiritual essence; it is a path of breathtaking natural beauty. From the tranquil towns of Finisterre and Muxía to the serene coastal views, it offers a peaceful retreat at the journey's end.
This path stands alone as the only Camino that commences in Santiago de Compostela, making it a unique choice for those who seek to extend their pilgrimage beyond the traditional route.
At Camino de Santiago Tours, we ensure that this historic journey is as enriching as it is effortless. From arranging comfortable accommodations to managing luggage transfers, our dedicated support is with you every step of the way.

We had a lovely hike today with our guide Klemen. He personalized the tour on our needs and interests, so that we saw places we wouldn't without his experience. The hike was a little bit slippery after the rain from the last days and it went a lot upwards, but it was totally worth it! Thanks again :)


The Kesch Trek in Switzerland was everything I hoped for and more. The trails were well-marked and took me through breathtaking alpine scenery, from wildflower meadows to towering glaciers. The huts were some of the best I’ve stayed in—comfortable, welcoming, and serving delicious food. Samo’s tips about the region helped me get the most out of every day. This was a perfect way to explore the Swiss Alps, and I can’t wait to plan my next hut-to-hut adventure!
My High Tatras hike was a wonderful balance of challenge and beauty. The dramatic peaks and sparkling mountain lakes were a constant highlight. The huts were well-maintained, with good food and welcoming staff. I appreciated the flexibility of the route and how easy it was to follow the itinerary provided. Thanks to Samo’s guidance, I felt confident and prepared. This hike introduced me to a part of Europe I’d never explored before, and I can’t wait to return.
Carros de Foc was an unforgettable experience. The loop took me through stunning high-altitude landscapes with glacial lakes, rocky ridges, and peaceful valleys. The huts were perfectly located and offered a great place to unwind after a full day of hiking. Anja’s recommendations on pacing and what to pack were spot-on, making the entire experience seamless. This trek is ideal for those who want to fully immerse themselves in the Pyrenees’ natural beauty.
The GR20 was the most challenging hike I’ve ever done, but also the most rewarding. The rugged ridgelines, dramatic peaks, and incredible Corsican sunsets made every tough climb worth it. The huts were simple but offered hearty meals and a chance to connect with other hikers. Anja gave me excellent advice on how to prepare for the GR20, which made all the difference. If you’re looking for a true test of endurance paired with breathtaking scenery, this is it!
The Laugavegur Trail in Iceland blew me away. The geothermal valleys, vibrant mountains, and sweeping glaciers made every step feel surreal. The huts along the way were basic but comfortable, offering a great place to rest after long days of hiking. The team at Hut to Hut Hiking Europe provided everything I needed to feel prepared, including a detailed itinerary and plenty of advice. This hike is truly one-of-a-kind—I’m already dreaming of my next trip to Iceland.
