A Walk of a Lifetime!
The Camino is a popular walking pilgrimage route in northern Spain that ends in Santiago. The main destination is the tomb of the apostle, St. James, who is buried in the Cathedral. For centuries, pilgrims have traveled this route in search of forgiveness, healing, and answers to any number of other prayers. Each day on the Camino consists of about 10-18 miles of hiking, and pilgrims stay in albergues along the way. This is a true pilgrimage experience!
- Walk the final 100 km of the Camino Francés (the French route) - from Sarria to Santiago
- Attend the pilgrim's Mass at the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela
- Experience authentic Albergues (traditional pilgrim lodging)
- Experience one of our faith's greatest pilgrimages!
Group pilgrimages to the Camino de Santiago start at a base fee for a 9-day pilgrimage at $2495 per person for a minimum of 15 paying pilgrims. Each additional day is $140 per person. The priest always goes for free and for every 15 paying pilgrimages, additional free tickets are complementary.

"I was very impressed with the level of thought and organization that went into planning our young adult pilgrimage to the Camino. I will definitely be reaching out to St. Charles Catholic Pilgrimages again."
