Events & Challenges
The Donegal Camino
The Donegal Camino is rooted in the true spirit of a Camino — a meaningful pilgrimage that brings people together through inspiring walking and hiking experiences. It weaves a network of scenic routes across the breathtaking landscapes of Northwest Donegal, highlighting the region's world-class trails, rugged coastline, and majestic mountains.
Beyond the walk itself, the Donegal Camino celebrates the area’s renowned hospitality, exceptional food, and the warmth of its people. It’s not just a journey through nature — it’s a journey of connection, reflection, and community.
Importantly, the Donegal Camino also supports a vital cause, raising much-needed funds for Cancer Care West, helping to provide essential services and support to those affected by cancer. Please visit https://www.donegalcamino.ie/ for more information
