ABOUT YOUR TRIP
Hike the way of St. James! Pilgrims have been walking the Camino de Santiago (Way of St. James) for centuries, following the many paths to Santiago de Compostela and the tomb of St. James. Our hiking tour begins in Sarria, the most popular Camino starting point, covering the last 100km of the Camino Francés. This is the minimum distance you can hike on the Camino and still receive your Compostela, a certificate that says you have successfully hiked the Camino and are a true Camino pilgrim.
Under Nativity’s excellent organization and leadership, our pilgrimages offer complete itineraries that include round-trip airfare, first-class hotel accommodations, breakfast, dinner, all transportation, daily Masses, and more!
