About this app

Walk the Camino de Santiago with a guide that works when your phone does not.

Camino Koala is a free Camino de Santiago planner and trail companion for the Camino Frances, Camino Portugues, Camino del Norte, Camino Primitivo and more. Download your route before you leave and every stage, town, albergue and story comes with you. No signal required.

PLAN YOUR CAMINO
- Stage by stage breakdowns with distance, elevation and terrain
- Albergues, donativos, pensions and hotels in every town
- Build a route that fits your dates, your pace and your budget
- Know what you will see before you get there

WORKS OFFLINE, EVERYWHERE
The meseta. A mountain pass. A Galician forest at dusk. Your maps, stages and town guides live on your phone, so you are never relying on one bar of signal to find out how far the next albergue is.

ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN
Tap Start walking and today's stage tracks itself. How far you have come, how far is left, which town is next - on your lock screen, without unlocking your phone or walking with a map open.

LISTEN INSTEAD OF LOOKING
Your Daily Cast is a short audio briefing for the day ahead: the route, the climbs, the towns, what to watch for. Put it on as you leave the albergue and keep your eyes on the path

KNOW WHAT YOU ARE WALKING PAST
There are a thousand years of history under your boots. We tell you whose.
- Short, readable/audio history for the towns and significant points of interest on your route
- Roman bridges, Templar castles, churches, pilgrim hospitals and the people behind them
- Why this path exists at all, and who walked it before you

DO NOT WALK PAST THE GOOD STUFF
Recommended stops on every stage, so you know what is worth the detour and what will cost you an hour you cannot spare.
- Viewpoints, chapels, river crossings, ruins and monuments
- The famous ones, and the ones most pilgrims stride straight past
- Pinned on the map so you can decide as you walk

WHEN THE BOOTS COME OFF
You arrive at two in the afternoon. Now what? We pack town guides showcasing some of the pilgrim essentials
- The local specialities worth eating
- What is worth seeing in town once you have showered
- Populate places to rest your feet
- Rest day ideas for the towns worth staying in twice

WALK WITH THE PEOPLE YOU MEET
Add the pilgrims you fall in with, see where they are on the route, and stay in touch after your paths split.

BUILT BY PEOPLE WHO HAVE WALKED IT
We have carried our own packs over these routes. Stages, towns and recommendations get checked on the ground rather than scraped from somewhere else.

FREE
No subscription. No paywall between you and the trail.
