Barranco de los Enamorados (PR-FV 1)
Trail through a ravine of pale sandstone walls and eroded shapes in northern Fuerteventura.
The Barranco de los Enamorados, also called Barranco Encantado, is a trail in northern Fuerteventura running between pale sandstone walls sculpted by erosion, with curious shapes and soft colours that contrast with the island's usual volcanic terrain.
The route is moderately demanding and very photogenic. As an open ravine with barely any tall vegetation, exposure to sun and wind is significant, so it is best to start early and carry enough water. A calm, original itinerary within the island's hiking offer.
