What is Camino de las Americas?
Camino de las Americas: Uniting Cultures Through Historical Legacy
The Camino de las Americas is the official extension of the Camino de Santiago, spanning the entire American continent from Santiago, Chile to St. Augustine, Florida. This emblematic route, established by the Nauta Institute in collaboration with the Catholic Church through the Cathedral Alliance initiative, follows a network of historical paths that marked Spanish presence in America.
The Cathedral Alliance has been instrumental in revitalizing these paths, transforming them into a pilgrimage route that connects diverse cultures and traditions. The First Coast Cultural Center, located on the First Coast Route, is an official landmark on this journey. Here, pilgrims can receive a special stamp, symbolizing their passage through this significant point.
To facilitate the pilgrims' experience, the website www.caminoistheway.com offers essential resources, and the official app available at caminoistheway.com/credential allows users to document their journey, obtaining digital stamps at each recognized stop.
The route of the Path of the Americas was blessed by Father Daniel Lorenzo, Canon of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela and Director of the International Pilgrim's Office. His blessing in December 2023 not only reaffirmed the path as a spiritual and cultural route but also reinforced the commitment to connect continents and communities through faith and shared heritage.
This path represents more than just a trail; it is a bridge between the past and the present, an invitation to explore, understand, and celebrate the rich tapestry of stories that make up the Americas.
