Activating Trails in the Canary Islands.
Activating trails
in Canary Islands
The European ERDF project «Activation Plan for the Regional Footpath Network» has allowed us to identify and characterise risks on footpaths in the Canary Islands.
With the ERDF project «Plan de Activación de la Red Regional de Senderos» we have identified and characterised the Risks in the Canarian Footpaths.
Our outcome, agreeing on tools.

A co-created project.
We have worked together with various institutions to reach a consensus on a methodology that identifies and characterises the footpaths that you can discover or visit in the Canary Islands.
9 institutions of the islands, united by the objective of a consensual methodology of Risks in Canary Islands trails.

Internal trail risks
On the path you walk.
FALLS ON SAME LEVEL SURFACES
Because of the surface or its cover: loose terrain, stones, pine needles, or because of gentle slopes or climatic factors you can fall to the ground, pay attention to the path.

FALLS ON DIFERENT LEVEL SURFACES
On paths with steep slopes or steep terrain, you can suffer a fall from height. Avoid reckless behaviour.

ACROPHOBIA
On trails with high elevations, especially if they have scenic effects, avoid these sections if you suffer from vertigo.

External trail risks
In the vicinity of the footpath.
MASS MOVEMENTS
Due to the characteristics of the terrain or the materials, there are sections of paths where landslides may occur. You must be more attentive.
Watch the video
ELECTRIC INFRASTRUCTURES
If there are infrastructures or elements of information, transport or electricity distribution near the path, do not approach it, be cautious and never leave the path.
Watch the video
HYDRAULIC INFRASTRUCTURES
If there are ponds, reservoirs, canals, wells, galleries or other construction elements related to hydraulic engineering near the trail, be careful! Never leave the path.
