One of the flatter days — the track barely leaves 70 m at Güemes. The challenge is distance and horizon, not gradient: mind the sun and your water.

How this is calculated

Stage boundaries follow the classic guidebook division for each route — the same seed the companion app plans with.

Elevations are curated, guidebook-style altitudes for every village on the route; profiles connect them in sequence. Ascent and descent sum the village-to-village changes plus a small per-kilometre undulation allowance, which lands the totals where published guides put them.

The difficulty rating weighs distance, climbing and descent the way legs do — a long flat day can outrank a short climb. Five levels, from gentle to epic; the top mark is reserved for the genuinely brutal days.

This tool runs on the same data and logic as the Camino Mio app — when you start walking, your plan comes with you. Meet the app
