Enchereda - La Campana

La Gomera

This is a low to medium difficulty circular route, perfect for those wishing to enjoy a relaxed walk through rural landscapes, thermophilous vegetation and open views of the ocean, without significant elevation gain or long distances. The trail starts in the hamlet of Enchereda, a small traditional settlement surrounded by stone terraces, Canary Island palms and rural houses, which preserves the agricultural character of the northeast of La Gomera. From there, the route ascends gently towards the La Campana area, following old paths historically used for livestock and agricultural activities. In the La Campana area, the terrain opens up into rolling hills covered with low scrub, tabaibas, verodes and cardones, offering wide views of the northern coast and the Enchereda ravine. It is an ideal place to stop, take photographs and observe the transition landscape between mid-altitude areas and the coast. The return to Enchereda follows a variant of the same trail or connects with sections of traditional local paths, completing a short and accessible loop that encapsulates, on a small scale, the cultural and scenic value of the surrounding area. This route is ideal for family outings, interpretative hiking or half-day walks.

Sustainability
Sostenibilidad
  • Never leave waste of any type lying around, including cigarette butts. Leftover food leads to a proliferation of rats and wild cats, which pose a serious threat to the fauna.
  • Respect the animals. Do not bother them or feed them. If you see an injured specimen, you can call the emergency number: 112. Do not pick flowers or plants.
  • Do not pick up or take away stones or any other item from the natural environment. And do not move them to pile them up into sadly famous 'towers'.
  • Respect the signposting along trails. Leaving the set paths causes damage to the environment and could also be dangerous for you and anyone with you.
  • It is safer to keep your pet on a lead.
  • Try not to alter the peace of the environment with excessive noise (loud music, yelling, etc.).
