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.
Equipped with a comprehensive travel booklet and GPS navigation, pilgrims are well-prepared to explore the Camino Primitivo's secrets and wonders.

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 :)


We had an incredible trek! The itinerary was exactly what we wanted, communication was excellent with the company. They were so helpful throughout the planning process and when we were in country. Slovenia exceeded our expectations. We can't recommend them enough!
We had an incredible experience booking our Dolomites hiking adventure through Hut-To-Hut Hiking Dolomites (one of the many companies operated through World Discovery). Traveling all the way from Hawai‘i, we were initially a bit hesitant about booking with a company based in Slovenia, but everything was flawless. Even factoring in the 12 hour time difference between Hawai'i and Europe, their communication was fast and professional. The planning materials were thorough and incredibly helpful including detailed daily hiking routes, suggested scenic stops and snack breaks at rifugios along the way, an app with offline downloadable maps customized to our routes, and clear hiking and safety guides. Every rifugio they booked for us was fantastic: clean, welcoming, well-located, and full of charm. They booked us at a 5-star hotel for the last night and the spa treatments were heavenly after days of hiking. The post-hike airport transportation was seamless, and we were especially grateful to have their help booking so close to peak summer season. There’s no way we could have secured such great rifugios on our own, each one they chose was a highlight. We felt fully supported throughout the trip, even though it was self-guided. They provide a 24/7 Whatsapp number which was nice to have in case of emergencies. We highly recommend Hut-To-Hut Hiking Dolomites for anyone looking to hike the Dolomites without the stress of figuring out all the logistics yourself. Would book with them again in a heartbeat.
