About the chaperones
Cape Camino chaperones are an important part to the experience. They offer safety, navigation and assistance. They are not tour guides but Camino assistants and are aware of the ethos of a Camino so will leave you to your own personal pilgrimage.

Important
Do your own research, on the area, the terrain, the weather, or any other information that may be of interest to you. This is not a tour, or a hike. It is a pilgrimage and our services are to assist you with your logistics.
